This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit. Change-Id: I72a6f7acfcff85f380be17dac76501a6f4693776

[`nix profile`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile.md) now uses names to refer to installed packages when running [`list`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-list.md), [`remove`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-remove.md) or [`upgrade`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-upgrade.md) as opposed to indices. Indices have been removed. Profile element names are generated when a package is installed and remain the same until the package is removed.

**Warning**: The `manifest.nix` file used to record the contents of profiles has changed. Lix will automatically upgrade profiles to the new version when you modify the profile. After that, the profile can no longer be used by older versions of Lix.
