refine wording on the purpose of the Nix language
...
packages and configurations are not really a concept in Nix or the Nix language. the idea of transforming files into other files clearly captures what it's all about, and the new phrasing should make the term "derivation" more obvious both in terms of meaning and origin.

manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter
