Alexander Schmolck 8d4b6766e2 Convert short nix options to long ones
e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion

The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.

The change was made with the following script:

and sanity checked visually.
