After the new markdown docs were merged, the Hacking link broke.

Additionally, when I was trying to hack on Nix yesterday, I was confused as to why make install was trying to access /usr, whereas the Hacking page noted Nix would be installed to ./inst. I had to look at https://hydra.nixos.org/build/126292991/download/1/manual/installation/building-source.html to realize I needed to pass --prefix=$(pwd)/inst when configuring for the Hacking page to be accurate. Thus, I've added the flag to the page.

Otherwise, the steps advertised in this document won't actually work
(e.g. `make install` will fail, trying to access /usr, and
`./inst/bin/nix` won't exist).

Well, I don't really feel entitled for push access anymore, but I think it I can fairly safely say this PR is an improvement.
