The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these commands really should at least peripherally individually document how installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the right place. This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove` and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables. Change-Id: I3b1453cb197a613bbab639c66a466365c3592c6d

Note: this command's interface is based heavily around installables, which you may want to read about first (nix --help).
