Valentin Gagarin 4781e7fa70 Document each store type on its own page 
This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.

The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.

This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

Nix Store

The Nix store is an abstraction to store immutable file system data (such as software packages) that can have dependencies on other such data.

There are multiple types of Nix stores with different capabilities, such as the default one on the local filesystem (/nix/store) or binary caches.
