2024-04-29docs: guide to installables docs in installable commands' docsQyriad
The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these commands really should at least peripherally individually document how installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the right place. This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove` and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables. Change-Id: I3b1453cb197a613bbab639c66a466365c3592c6d

2023-03-05clarify definition of "installable"Valentin Gagarin
the term was hard to discover, as its definition and explanation were in a very long document lacking an overview section. search did not help because it occurs so often. - clarify wording in the definition - add an overview of installable types - add "installable" to glossary - link to definition from occurrences of the term - be more precise about where store derivation outputs are processed - installable Nix expressions must evaluate to a derivation Co-authored-by: Adam Joseph <54836058+amjoseph-nixpkgs@users.noreply.github.com>
