nixos/doc: improve install instructions
...
- Update download URLs
- Replace "USB stick"/"USB Drive" with "USB flash drive" as that seem more correct
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive
https://elementary.io/docs/installation#choose-operating-system
- Don't mention CD as easiest option anymore,
as all modern systems should be able to boot from USB,
but many don't have a CD drive. Burning CDs is also usually wasteful as you
can't burn them again.
- Remove link to NixOS Wiki (Making_the_installation_media) as it is not needed
- Add Etcher and USBImager as graphical tools to create install drive
- Make dd command consistent and use block size of 4 MB for faster flashing
- More consistent text
- Add instructions for "Booting from the install medium"

systemd-boot is not the only option, even though it "just works" better.

nixos/doc/installation: fix alignment of created partitions
...
$ parted /dev/nvme1n1 -- mkpart primary linux-swap -8GiB 100%
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance: 3108850352s % 2048s != 0s
Ignore/Cancel?
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.
When using GB than parted seems to round up itself.

Add command to switch to root
...
Installation guide assumed you are root but didn't explain how to get there. And it's not obvious.
