home-manager: support .config configuration path
This commit changes the default path of the Home Manager configuration
file from `~/.nixpkgs/home.nix` to `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix`. The
old path is still supported and will be used if the `.config` path
does not exist.

This aligns Home Manager with the preferred configuration directory in
NixOS 17.03.

Fixes .

Expand installation instructions slightly
In particular, mention that non-NixOS users may have to create the
per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories.

Also reformat the list a little.

home-environment: prevent overwriting existing files
This should reduce the risk of overwriting an existing file in the
user's home directory. A file will only be replaced if it is a link
pointing to a home-manager tree inside the Nix store.

If an existing file is detected an error is written indicating the
file's path and the activation will terminate before any mutation
occurs.
