channel: add --show-trace to nix-env command
Otherwise, when this fails on Hydra, we have no way of seeing what
went wrong.

17e863d017 Remove incorrect sentence from make-channel comment
Besides being incorrect, claims like these tend to stick around
after they become incorrect.

2cd7c1f198 Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
This is primarily to ensure that

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

behave consistently.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

Fixes #7659.
