The instructions to install nixos behind a proxy were not clear. While one could guess that setting http_proxy variables can get the install rolling, one could end up with an installed system where the proxy settings for the nix-daemon are not configured. This commit updates the documentation with 1. steps to install behind a proxy 2. configure the global proxy settings so that nix-daemon can access internet. 3. Pointers to use nesting.clone in case one has to use different proxy settings on different networks.
