home-manager: remove unsupported -2 option
This option used to make the `home-manager` command use the `nix` tool
from Nix 2. Unfortunately the `nix` tool is a bit experimental and it
is best to await its stabilization before supporting it in Home
Manager.

home-manager: add instantiate subcommand
It can be useful to simply instantiate a Home Manager configuration
without actually building it, for example for the purpose of
pre-building it with some custom command.

home-manager: handle args with spaces to doBuildAttr
Presently, if you pass an argument with spaces in it to `doBuildAttr`,
it will be split it into multiple arguments to `nix build` or
`nix-build`. This situation arises, for example, on systems with
spaces in `XDG_DATA_HOME`.

Specifically, the `home-manager` script errors out in trying to
address the `read-news` state file. With this change, argument
separation should be preserved properly in `doBuildAttr`.

home-manager: make sure all files are uninstalled

install: restrict to nix-shell
This commit adds a "build" command to the install derivation that
tells the user that `nix-shell` should be used.

A derivation attribute `shellHookOnly = true` is also added with the
intent to indicate that the shell hook is the entire point of the
derivation.

documentation.

home-manager: add generation expiration command
This adds a new command to the home-manager shell script that allows
generations to be removed that are older than an given absolute or
relative date.

This allows users to manage the expiration of their home-manager
generations separately from their system or user profiles via
nix-collect-garbage. It is most important if the user desires to have
a convenient way to have different expiration times for Home Manager
generations than other system or user profiles.

home-manager: fix GC issue
It was previously possible to create the news information and lose it

`doBuildAttr` function is simplified accordingly.

home-manager: resolve default configuration file path
Home Manager needs an absolute and resolved path to its configuration
file. The default configuration path is absolute but not necessarily
resolved. For example, some users may have `~/.config` be a symbolic
link to somewhere else. We therefore run the default configuration
path through the `realpath` tool to resolve it.
