docs: update session-vars info about fish shell
The docs implied that fish was not really supported, but if fish is
managed by Home Manager, the generated config does use fenv to source
the session-vars file. Update the installation instructions and FAQ to
mention that fish does work, and mention fenv in the README.

readme: use less ambiguous user name in example
The example used `user` as the username, which may be confusing.
Instead use `jdoe`, which is more clearly a username.

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.

Change installation instructions to use nix-channel
This avoids the uncontrollable nature of fetching the tarball as part
of the evaluation. Instead the user can decide when to update and also
perform rollbacks, if necessary.

home-manager: use `shellHook` to install
This changes the installation command from

    nix-shell $HM_PATH -A install --run 'home-manager switch'

to

    nix-shell $HM_PATH -A install

The added shell hook will print some useful information and run
`home-manager switch`.
