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.
