focus on golden-path covering most scenarios
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with
anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing
setup--not enforcing a best-practice...

Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers:

+ no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume:
  All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use)

+ create new unencrypted volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault

+ create new encrypted-at-rest volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault
  Catalina, T2, no FileVault

- require user to pre-create encrypted volume
  Catalina, T2, FileVault

install: also configure ~/.zshenv
The default login shell for users on macOS 10.15 changed from bash to
zsh.  So while generally nonstandard we need to configure it to make nix
function out of the box on macOS.

install: configure and bootstrap synthetic.conf on darwin
Starting macOS 10.15 /nix can't be creasted directly anymore due to the
readonly filesystem, but synthetic.conf was introduced to enable
creating mountpoints or symlinks for special usecases like package
managers.

b9567aa8b6 install script: don't abort when "nix-channel --update" fails
Instead, print a message about what happened and tell the user what can
be done (run "[sudo -i] nix-channel --update nixpkgs" again at a later
time). This change allows installing Nix when you're offline.

Since the multi-user installer is so verbose, the message isn't printed
until the end.

Fixes issue #2650 ("installation without internet connection").

installer: update macOS version check to 10.12.2
Nixpkgs will drop support for <10.12 soon and thus a nix release built
using the 19.03 channel will also require a newer version of macOS.

installer: allow opting in / out to the daemon installer
By passing --daemon or --no-daemon, the installer can be forced to
select one or the other installation options, despite what the
automatic detection can provide.

This commit can be backported to 2.0-maintenance because it explicitly
turns off the daemon installation for Linux under systemd.

Expand the multi-user installer to support Linuxes with systemd
- darwin installer: delete hardware report, not necessary
 - moves os-specific code from the darwin installer to to `poly_*`
   functions
 - adds profile.d support to the profile targets, which automatically
   handles many distros which don't have a /etc/bashrc but do have an
   /etc/profile.d
 - /bin/bash -> /usr/bin/env bash
 - document why each excluded shellcheck check is excluded
 - rename the multi-user to Daemon-based

eec5409a69 installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)
The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst
.bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile.  So .bash_profile (if it is
writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh
in, say, .profile.

This commit introduces a new environment variable,
NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE.  If this is set during installation,
then the modifications are unconditionally skipped.

This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles
that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is
already sourced at a place where the user prefers.  Without this
change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if
it exists.

This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and
the new override.

3889415bf8 Fix ?? in Nix warning message
Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo
```

... when it really meant to output something that looked like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo
```

The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message.  I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.

4916d92092 Always verify nix store on install
Just wasted a couple hours chasing shadows because the nix store got
corrupted and there was no indication of that anywhere.

Since an install is one-time only, might as well verify.  Optimization
showed that the copied files aren't read-only; fixed that as well.

Also, use /bin/sh since there's a good chance that this script will be
run on systems without /bin/bash

ad0dc41899 Check shell profile is writeable before modifying
The `set -e` at the top of the script causes the installation to fail to
complete if the shell profile is not writeable. Checking file existence
only is not enough.

d53735c823 Nix install script failed when "cd" printed to stdout.
In some cases the bash builtin command "cd" can print the variable $CWD
to stdout.  This caused the install script to fail while copying files
because the source path was wrong.

Fixes #476.
