docs: clarify stand-alone installation instructions
Specifically, - include system-wide Nixpkgs channel so `NIX_PATH` solution also works on multi-user installations; - additionally link to Nix Discourse reply for more information on `NIX_PATH`; and - remove note about relog on NixOS since all the channels in `~/.nix-defexpr/channels/` are included by default, so the Home Manager channel should be picked up automatically.
