nixos/documentation: nixos-help: use w3m(1) by default
It is referenced in various places, but does not work out of the box:

	$ nixos-help
	/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-help: unable to start a web browser; please set $BROWSER

In the user-hidden fallbacks to xdg-open(1) and w3m(1), `nixos-help`
expects tools to be deliberately installed by users.

For default installations and new users in general, this is unlikely to
be the case.  Conversely, chances to use `nixos-help` are even higher
in such cases.

Use w3m-nographics by default to ensure documentation is always
available.  The documentation browser on ttyS8 already does so, but is
not accessible in every installation, e.g. VMs with only ttyS0 and SSH
available.

This obsoletes including it in the base profile's systemPackages,
so remove the @TODO as done.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-19.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-19.03

For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
