nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile` of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working again, without recreating the profile. This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of profile. Fixes #16. Change-Id: I4c49b1beba93bb50e8f8a107edc451affe08c3f7

synopsis: using `nix profile` on `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default` no longer breaks `nix upgrade-nix`

On non-NixOS, Nix is conventionally installed into a `nix-env` style profile at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default.
|
|
Like any `nix-env` profile, using `nix profile` on it automatically migrates it to a `nix profile` style profile, which is incompatible with `nix-env`.
|
|
`nix upgrade-nix` previously relied solely on `nix-env` to do the upgrade, but now will work fine with either kind of profile.
