0cf74190a9 nixos manual: Adds some examples of how to use fdisk.
Also unifies the BIOS and UEFI installation instructions.

It's a fairly basic usage, but it makes explicity the fact that
you should at least have a main partition and a swap partition,
and will save some users a bit of internet searching while they
are getting set up.

0ddc8a303b nixos manual: suggest nixos-help as well
Part of improving #30760: users on a serial console can't switch ttys,
so providing another method to access the manual is useful.

678e1955b1 manual: delete dangling pointer to real-world NixOS configs
At some point we probably want to replace this with a curated list
of configurations or even an upstreamed repository of examples, but
for now this is just noise.

Fixes NixOS/nixpkgs#14522
