Valentin Gagarin 4781e7fa70 Document each store type on its own page
This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.

The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.

This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

Add *path* to the Nix search path. The Nix search path is
initialized from the colon-separated [`NIX_PATH`](@docroot@/command-ref/env-common.md#env-NIX_PATH) environment
variable, and is used to look up the location of Nix expressions using [paths](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-path) enclosed in angle
brackets (i.e., `<nixpkgs>`).
For instance, passing
```
-I /home/eelco/Dev
-I /etc/nixos
```
will cause Nix to look for paths relative to `/home/eelco/Dev` and
`/etc/nixos`, in that order. This is equivalent to setting the
`NIX_PATH` environment variable to
```
/home/eelco/Dev:/etc/nixos
```
It is also possible to match paths against a prefix. For example,
passing
```
-I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch
-I /etc/nixos
```
will cause Nix to search for `<nixpkgs/path>` in
`/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch/path` and `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/path`.
If a path in the Nix search path starts with `http://` or `https://`,
it is interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and
unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must consist of a single
top-level directory. For example, passing
```
-I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz
```
tells Nix to download and use the current contents of the `master`
branch in the `nixpkgs` repository.
The URLs of the tarballs from the official `nixos.org` channels
(see [the manual page for `nix-channel`](../nix-channel.md)) can be
abbreviated as `channel:<channel-name>`. For instance, the
following two flags are equivalent:
```
-I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-21.05
-I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05/nixexprs.tar.xz
```
You can also fetch source trees using [flake URLs](./nix3-flake.md#url-like-syntax) and add them to the
search path. For instance,
```
-I nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs
```
specifies that the prefix `nixpkgs` shall refer to the source tree
downloaded from the `nixpkgs` entry in the flake registry. Similarly,
```
-I nixpkgs=flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.05
```
makes `<nixpkgs>` refer to a particular branch of the
`NixOS/nixpkgs` repository on GitHub.
