Cleanup of nix.spec file to allow build on EL7 and beyond

- Clean deprecated spec file macros ( < EL6 )
- Allow to build Nix on EL7 using Software collection and Copr backports
- Add conditional build to build Nix RPM without documentation for dev builds
- Add missing BuildRequires (openssl, and others )
