Robert Hensing f715992346 Change channel URLs to channels.nixos.org subdomain 
Update all channel URLs from https://nixos.org/channels/ to
https://channels.nixos.org/ to use the more reliable subdomain.

The nixos.org domain apex lacks IPv6 support due to DNS hoster
limitations. Using the subdomain allows better CDN distribution
and improved reliability.

Updated files:
- Installation scripts (multi-user and tarball installers)
- Channel URL resolution in eval-settings.cc
- Documentation and examples
- Docker image default channel URL
- Release notes (added note about URL change)

Fixes #14517

Channel URLs migrated to channels.nixos.org subdomain

Channel URLs have been updated from https://nixos.org/channels/ to https://channels.nixos.org/ throughout Nix.

The subdomain provides better reliability with IPv6 support and improved CDN distribution. The old domain apex (nixos.org/channels/) currently redirects to the new location but may be deprecated in the future.
