nix: use overlays instead of packageOverrides

Changes:
- Add `nix/DETAILS.md` for more in-depth info
- Rename some of `config.status-im` variables
- Drop `env` argument for Android build
- Use `overlays` instead of `packageOverrides`
- Move the `pkgs` overlay to `nix/overlay.nix`
- Move `nix/status-go/utils.nix` to `nix/tools`
- Make `shell.nix` use the `shells.default` only
- Use `default.nix` as target for `nix/scripts/shell.sh`
- Make `nix/scripts/shell.sh` use `--attr` instead of `target`
- Drop the `target` argument in favour of using `--attr`
- Drop unnecessary `src` from `nix/mobile/ios/default.nix`
- Move `mkShell` and `mergeSh` under `lib`
- Move `patched-go` package to `nix/pkgs` directory
- Move `gomobile` package to `nix/pkgs` directory
- Move `ANDROID_ABI_SPLIT` to `config.status-im.android.abi-split`
- Move `ANDROID_ABI_INCLUDE to `config.status-im.android.abi-include`

+# Description
+
+This document descripts the layout of our Nix setup.
+
+# Folders
+
+There are four main folders in the `nix` directory:
+
+* `nix/scripts` - Bash scripts for easier usage of Nix
+* `nix/pkgs` - Packages we add to or modify in `nixpkgs`
+* `nix/tools` - Various tools used by our derivations and shells
+* `nix/status-go` - Derivations for building [`status-go`](https://github.com/status-im/status-go) repo
+
+# Files
+
+There are a few main files that define the whole build environment:
+
+* `nix/default.nix` - Entrypoint for both shells and targets
+* `nix/shells.nix` - Definition of Nix shells used in builds
+* `nix/targets.nix` - Hierarchy of main build targets
+* `nix/pkgs.nix` - Definition of a custom `nixpkgs` repo
+* `nix/overlay.nix` - Overrides for `nixpkgs`, custom packages
+
+# Start
+
+The starting point for using our Nix shells and targets is the [`default.nix`](/default.nix) file.
+
+It pulls in all the `pkgs`, `targets` and `shells` defined in [`nix/default.nix`](/nix/default.nix). The point is easy access to them via commands like `nix-build` or `nix-shell`, which you'll see next.
+
+# Usage
+
+We will use the `make jsbundle-android` target as an example of a derivation you can build using Nix:
+
+1. `make jsbundle-android` is called by developer
+2. `make` calls `nix/scripts/build.sh targets.mobile.android.jsbundle`
+3. [`build.sh`](/nix/scripts/build.sh) calls `nix-build --attr targets.mobile.android.jsbundle` with extra arguments
+4. `nix-build` builds the derivation from [`nix/mobile/android/jsbundle/default.nix`](/nix/mobile/android/jsbundle/default.nix)
+
+The same can be done for other targets like `targets.mobile.android.release`.
+Except in that case extra arguments are required which is why the [`scripts/release-android.sh`](/scripts/release-android.sh) is used in the `make release-android` target.
+
+If you run `make release-android` you'll see the `nix-build` command used:
+```
+nix-build \
+  --pure \
+  --fallback \
+  --no-out-link \
+  --show-trace \
+  --attr targets.mobile.android.release \
+  --argstr secrets-file '/tmp/tmp-status-react-559a3a441/tmp.xAnrPuNtAP' \
+  --option extra-sandbox-paths '/home/sochan/.gradle/status-im.keystore /tmp/tmp-status-react-559a3a441/tmp.xAnrPuNtAP' \
+  --arg config '{ \
+    status-im.build-type="nightly";
+    status-im.build-number="2020022418";
+    status-im.android.keystore-file="/home/sochan/.gradle/status-im.keystore";
+    status-im.android.abi-split="false";
+    status-im.android.abi-include="armeabi-v7a;arm64-v8a;x86";
+  }' \
+  default.nix
+```
+Some of those are required which is why just calling:
+```
+nix-build --attr targets.mobile.android.release
+```
+Would fail.
