Fix NIX_CONF_DIR description
...
Fix description of `NIX_CONF_DIR`. It currently say that it defaults to `prefix/etc/nix`, which would mean `/nix/etc/nix` on default installations, and contradicts the description in `conf-file-prefix.md`.
This fix makes the description of `NIX_CONF_DIR` consistent with `conf-file-prefix.md`, assuming that the latter is correct.

Makes the behavoral change of #13263 without the underlying refactor.
Hopefully this clearly safe from a perf and GC perspective, and will
make it easier to benchmark #13263 .
