Adam Joseph a5be5e0120 doc/manual: define {local,remote} store, binary cache, substituter
Nix veterans intuitively know what the following terms mean.  They are
used in several places in the nix documentation, but never defined:

- local store
- remote store
- binary cache
- substituter

In particular, I found the last two terms to be confusingly similar.
Let's give definitions for them.
