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. [Nix download page]: https://nixos.org/download.html
