home-manager: add activation sanity check of Nix
This adds an empty `nix-build` command to verify that the user is
having a good Nix install. It also, as a side effect, will create the
necessary per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories.

Fixes #1246

home-manager: use nix-env to list generations
Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the
benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do
not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions.

Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step
of the installation instructions.

activation-init: sanity check oldGenNum and oldGenPath
Something is terribly wrong if one is set but not the other so error
out with a message if that happens.

home-environment: use nix-env from PATH
It is safest to use the system install of Nix since that will be
compatible with the running nix-daemon and/or databases.

Also add a printout of the used Nix version in the activation script
when running in verbose mode.

Fixes #218.
