1362a0a55a Fix logic for default XDG_DATA_DIRS value
The [POSIX test manpage](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html)
as well as the [fish test manpage](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/test.html#operators-for-text-strings)
specify that `-z` will be "True if the length of string string is zero;
otherwise, false."

The `-n` was likely a mixup and not caught during testing of
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8985 due to a lack of missing
conflicting entries in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.

867f894289 Populate $XDG_DATA_DIRS with appropriate folder from Nix profile
On non-NixOS systems, the default `nix` install does not populate the
`$XDG_DATA_DIRS`. This populates it and enables things like bash-completion
and `.desktop` file detection for `nix` profile installed packages.

49e058f1cf Fix Nix installation on older versions of fish
The `fish_add_path` function is only available for fish 3.2.0 or newer,
and not on older versions.
This commit adds an alternative way to update the PATH when
`fish_add_path` does not exist.

34e3fa3a4a Fix fish shell MANPATH creation
Previously the MANPATH was set even if MANPATH was empty beforehand
which resulted in a MANPATH of only ~/.nix-profile/share/man which
omitted the default man page directory (commonly /opt/local/share/man)
from man page results.

8ebdbeb257 Add fish suport to installer
Before this patch, installing Nix using the Fish shell did not
work because Fish wasn't configured to add Nix to the PATH. Some
options in #1512 offered workarounds, but they typically involve
extra plugins or packages.

This patch adds native, out-of-the-box support for the Fish shell.

Note that Fish supports a `conf.d` directory, which is intended
for exactly use cases like this: software projects distributing
shell snippets. This patch takes advantage of it. The installer
doesn't append any Nix loader behavior to any Fish config file.
Because of that, the uninstall process is smooth and a reinstall
obliterates the existing nix.fish files that we place instead of
bothering the user with a backup / manual removal.

Both single-user and multi-user cases are covered. It has been
tested on Ubuntu, and a Mac with MacPorts, homebrew, and the
Fish installer pkg.

Closes #1512
