John Ericson 523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

Design and Data Model

Most of the manual is about how to use Nix. This chapter is about what Nix actually is. The hope is that it can serve as a reference for key concepts, and also shed light on why things are the way they are.
