doc: don't give nix users bad advice
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
See [here][0]. Plus `nix profile` and imperative package management in
general is usually the wrong thing to do when using Nix.

Nix users should be able to reference existing documentation for how to
install things; this repository should simply say where it's packaged
and leave it up to the user to decide how they want to install it.
