Nix, the purely functional package manager

Marian Hammer 58428a4069 nix/tests: run test help.sh only if nix is built with documentation
tests/functional/help.sh calls nix-* commands with option --help
if nix is built without documentation the option --help throws an error
because the man page it wants to display is missing
