WIP: Document the design of Nix

Browse source 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

# Design and Data Model
Most of the manual is about how to use Nix.
This chapter is about what Nix actually is.
The hope is that it can serve as a reference for key concepts, and also shed light on why things are the way they are.
