Changes the `quick-start.md` to recommend a multi-user install, since single-user is not supported on MacOS and https://nixos.org/download.html recommends multi-user. Expands `installation.md` to reflect wording on https://nixos.org/download.html

2022-06-30doc: acknowledge post-rsync realityTravis A. Everett
Before #5150 the copy-to-store phase of the install was idempotent, but the recursive cp isn't. This is probably baiting a few people into trying corrective installs that will fail.

2022-02-22doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOStoonn
