We didn't even realize you *could* use this syntax with -E and -f, much
less that the attribute path could be *empty*.

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.

- Create a glossary entry for experimental features.
- Have the man page experimental feature notice link `nix-commmand`.
(Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is
experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.)
- Document which installables depend on which experimental features.
I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the
top of the man page uses.

Why not 'nix help stores'? Well, 'nix help <arg>' already means 'show
help on the "arg" subcommand'.

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

this is easier to edit, provides anchors for free, and renders correctly
on the terminal without additional effort.

a store derivation is not a store path itself, it has a store path.

We don't need it yet.

Match the other syntax that was recently added
|
|
|
|
E.g. 'nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static' or 'nixpkgs#glibc^*'.

Being conservative and only doing a single output name for now.
