David Arnold ca7fd5a643
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`.
