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

docs: use $ prompts for nix-channel commands
Channels should be added for the normal user, not for root, because the
home-manager configuration is not supposed to be evaluated as root.

dconf: note that system dconf must be enabled
Before enabling dconf in Home Manager, dconf must be enabled in system
config.

Otherwise it will fail like this:

```
$ home-manager switch
Starting Home Manager activation
Activating checkFilesChanged
Activating checkLinkTargets
Activating writeBoundary
Activating installPackages
replacing old 'home-manager-path'
installing 'home-manager-path'
Activating dconfSettings
error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit dconf.service not found.
```

dbus: improve recommended NixOS configuration
Specifically, instead of

    services.dbus.packages = with pkgs; [ gnome.dconf ];

we now recommend

    programs.dconf.enable = true;

which does the same and more.

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.

docs: rename "doc" directory to "docs"
Also remove `CONTRIBUTING.adoc` and `FAQ.adoc` from project root since
GitHub knows to pick them up from the docs directory.
