Alexander Schmolck 8d4b6766e2 Convert short nix options to long ones 
e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion

The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.

The change was made with the following script:

<https://github.com/aschmolck/convert-short-nix-opts-to-long-ones>

and sanity checked visually.
