home-manager: verify username and home directory
The generation activation script should be run by the user specified
in `home.username` and `home.homeDirectory`. If some other user runs
the activation script, then files may end up in the wrong place or
with the wrong owner.

This commits adds a check early in the activation script that verifies
that the running user match the user in the configuration.

Fixes #4019

home-manager: migrate profiles to nix state directory
If the user runs a recent Nix version that places per-user profiles in
`$XDG_STATE_DIR/nix/profiles`, then migrate the home-manager profile
there.

Also clean up `setupVars` a bit.

home-manager: add init command to main tool
The init command is essentially the old install script but integrated
into the home-manager tool. This simplifies things slightly since we
can use the existing code infrastructure.

The init command is Nix flake aware in the sense that, if we detect
that the user's Nix setup supports flakes, then we also create an
initial `flake.nix` file.

Finally, we update the installation instructions for the Nix flakes
standalone setup to use the new init command.

home-manager: change default configuration home
This changes the default configuration location for Home Manager
configurations from

    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nixpkgs

to

    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager

The old location is still supported but using it will trigger a
warning message.

Fixes #3640

home-manager: handle missing per-user profiles directory
Specifically, if the global per-user profiles path do not exist and we
cannot create it during the activation, then place our profile in the
Home Manager data directory. We prefer to use the global location,
though, since it makes it visible to `nix-collect-garbage`.

This is intended to improve compatibility with Nix version 2.14 and
later, which no longer creates the per-user directories.

Also, use the Home Manager data directory to manage the gcroot for the
current generation. It does not have to sit in the global per-user
gcroots directory since it should never be eligible for GC.

home-manager: add basic i18n support
The support for translated strings is, for now, limited to strings
generated in Bash code.
