remove the misleading warning on using nix-env for split outputs (#255947)
The text was originally added [0] following an apparently incomplete
research on how everything plays together. In fact, Nix propagates
`outputs` to the corresponding nested derivations, and there is some
messy behavior in Nixpkgs that only seems to propagate
`meta.outputsToInstall` in `buildEnv`[1].

This change moves the hints on how to use NixOS specifics to NixOS
module documentation (which is hopefully easier to find through
search.nixos.org), describes the default behavior in Nixpkgs (updating
a the link to the source), and removes the confusing mention of
`nix-env`.

the last of them should not be there to begin with. we don't want
beginners to use `nix-env`, as this is known to run them into trouble
eventually.
