home-manager: change default configuration home

Browse source 
This changes the default configuration location for Home Manager
configurations from

    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nixpkgs

to

    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager

The old location is still supported but using it will trigger a
warning message.

Fixes #3640

Similarly, if you are using a Nix flake based setup
then the default flake file location has changed from
`~/.config/nixpkgs/flake.nix` to `~/.config/home-manager/flake.nix`.

The old location will continue to work but using it will trigger a warning message.
We changed the default configuration location to avoid confusion about
which files belong to Home Manager and which belong to Nixpkgs.
