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: <https://github.com/aschmolck/convert-short-nix-opts-to-long-ones> and sanity checked visually.

Multi-user Nix users on macOS can upgrade Nix by running: `sudo -i sh -c
'nix-channel --update &&
-nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix &&
+nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.nix &&
launchctl remove org.nixos.nix-daemon &&
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist'`
Single-user installations of Nix should run this: `nix-channel --update;
-nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix nixpkgs.cacert`
+nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.nix nixpkgs.cacert`
Multi-user Nix users on Linux should run this with sudo: `nix-channel
---update; nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix nixpkgs.cacert; systemctl
+--update; nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.nix nixpkgs.cacert; systemctl
daemon-reload; systemctl restart nix-daemon`
