Add note about xz requirement for tarball in install-nix.md (#1119)
Since we're providing for download `.tar.xz` binary tarballs, we assume that systems have xz-utils or similar for handling that compression format. We should make a note of this small requirement at the beginning of the Install Nix page.
Ref for WSL :
```
PS C:\Users\thadg> wsl
thad@MarsOrBust:/mnt/c/Users/thadg$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- --daemon
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

sh: you do not have 'xz' installed, which I need to unpack the binary tarball
```
Fixed after running `sudo apt install xz-utils` for my Debian distribution with WSL1 parent 261f73e commit 801d362
