763c1dfc2b Expand installation.md
Changes the `quick-start.md` to recommend a multi-user install, since
single-user is not supported on MacOS and https://nixos.org/download.html
recommends multi-user.

Expands `installation.md` to reflect wording on https://nixos.org/download.html

649c9d9b4c doc: acknowledge post-rsync reality
Before #5150 the copy-to-store phase of the install was idempotent,
but the recursive cp isn't. This is probably baiting a few people
into trying corrective installs that will fail.

doc: Add removal of darwin-store LaunchDaemon
The uninstall instructions used to accidentally remove the nix-darwin
LaunchDaemon, this was dropped. However, the original intent was to
remove the Store volume mounting LaunchDaemon.

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
