Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix.
Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This
is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the
manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this.
Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making
installation a no-op.
