home-manager: use `nix-env` to list generations
...
Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the
benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do
not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions.
Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step
of the installation instructions.

home-manager: support `.config` configuration path
...
This commit changes the default path of the Home Manager configuration
file from `~/.nixpkgs/home.nix` to `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix`. The
old path is still supported and will be used if the `.config` path
does not exist.
This aligns Home Manager with the preferred configuration directory in
NixOS 17.03.
Fixes #13 .

home-environment: prevent overwriting existing files
...
This should reduce the risk of overwriting an existing file in the
user's home directory. A file will only be replaced if it is a link
pointing to a home-manager tree inside the Nix store.
If an existing file is detected an error is written indicating the
file's path and the activation will terminate before any mutation
occurs.
