This adds some documentation about importing modules external to
Nixpkgs, which provides context for documenting
NIXOS_EXTRA_MODULE_PATH.

nixos-install: Make compatible with Nix 2.0
...
The use of Nix 2.0 significantly simplifies the installer, since we
can just pass a different store URI (--store /mnt) - it's no longer
needed to set up a chroot environment for the build, and to bootstrap
Nix into the chroot.
Also, commands that need to run in the installation (namely boot
loader installation and setting a root password) are now executed
using nixos-enter.
This also removes the need for nixos-prepare-root since any required
initialisation is done by Nix or by the activation script.

manual: reworked submodule section for better readability
...
The section was strange to read, as the initial example already used
`listOf' which is mentioned in the very first paragraph. Then you read
in a subsection about `listOf' and the exact same example is given
once again.

doc: clarify building-nixos CD/DVD instructions
...
This change updates the instructions for building a NixOS ISO so that it's clear how to do it.
Previously, the instructions stated to set NIXOS_CONFIG prior to running `nix-build`, yet the example provided by-passed NIXOS_CONFIG anyway. But the *really* important missing piece is the need for nixos/default.nix. See #21840 .
This change removes the NIXOS_CONFIG verbiage, and adds steps to clone nixpkgs and (most importantly) cd'ing into nixpkgs/nixos. That way, the reader may think: *Oh, so I need a default.nix and a configuration.nix. Ahhh, OK.*
I purposely added the redundant default.nix argument.
