Raito Bezarius b8cb7abcf0 chore: rebrand Nix to Lix when it makes sense
Here's my guide so far:

$ rg '((?!(recursive).*) Nix
(?!(daemon|store|expression|Rocks!|Packages|language|derivation|archive|account|user|sandbox|flake).*))'
-g '!doc/' --pcre2

All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side:
that's for https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/162.

Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which
were not relevant were also replaced.

Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/148.
Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/162.

# Lix
**Lix** is an implementation of **Nix**, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.
Read more about us at https://lix.systems.
## Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command
(as a user other than root):
```console
$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
```
For systems that **already have a Nix implementation installed**, such as NixOS systems, read our [install page](https://lix.systems/install)
## Building And Developing
See our [Hacking guide](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/branch/main/doc/manual/src/contributing/hacking.md) in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
