davidak f701bd5986 nixos/doc: improve install instructions 
- Update download URLs
- Replace "USB stick"/"USB Drive" with "USB flash drive" as that seem more correct

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive
  https://elementary.io/docs/installation#choose-operating-system

- Don't mention CD as easiest option anymore,
  as all modern systems should be able to boot from USB,
  but many don't have a CD drive. Burning CDs is also usually wasteful as you
  can't burn them again.
- Remove link to NixOS Wiki (Making_the_installation_media) as it is not needed
- Add Etcher and USBImager as graphical tools to create install drive
- Make dd command consistent and use block size of 4 MB for faster flashing
- More consistent text
- Add instructions for "Booting from the install medium"

  Inspired by 9a91b0f495/docs/installation.md (booting-from-the-install-drive-booting-from-the-installation-medium-clear-float-2)

- Add instructions for "Graphical Installation"
- Restructure headings and anchors for "Manual Installation"
- Adding legacy anchors for "Manual Installation" to not break links

README.md

This directory is temporarily needed while we transition the manual to CommonMark. It stores the output of the ../md-to-db.sh script that converts CommonMark files back to DocBook.

We are choosing to convert the Markdown to DocBook at authoring time instead of manual building time, because we do not want the pandoc toolchain to become part of the NixOS closure.

Do not edit the DocBook files inside this directory or its subdirectories. Instead, edit the corresponding .md file in the normal manual directories, and run ../md-to-db.sh to update the file here.
