Doron Behar 8716b71ea6 doc/nixos: Explain better NixOS specific Systemd stuff
Divide the "Service Management" chapter into two sections. The 1st (the
original) explaining General, not NixOS specific ways to interact with
Systemd. The 2nd section, explaining NixOS specific things worth
knowing.

Explain in the 2nd section a bit NixOS modules and services of Nixpkgs,
and mention `systemd.user.services` option. Give an example
demonstrating how to enable imperatively an upstream provided unit file
for a user. Explain why `systemctl --user enable` doesn't work for the
long term on NixOS.

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at

    https://nixos.org/nix/download.html

When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:

    nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux

When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
