In addition to consistency, the fancy "Copy to clipboard" button on the
website will copy the prompt character. Retaining the prompt character
would mean having to edit each command after pasting in the terminal.
Before #5150 the copy-to-store phase of the install was idempotent,
but the recursive cp isn't. This is probably baiting a few people
into trying corrective installs that will fail.
The uninstall instructions used to accidentally remove the nix-darwin

remove the Store volume mounting LaunchDaemon.
Clarify that `/nix` being present after the uninstall is normal and it
will only disappear after a reboot.
