Matthew Bauer 6604240a4b nixos/manual: use default bs value
Apparently this is a little slower but much safer & not prone to
potential argument errors.

Matthew Bauer 1ff9a93e1c nixos/doc: bs=1000000 for dd args (#54280)
Not all dd implementations take ‘bs=1m’. Better to just list it out
fully to reduce potential for problems.

Fixes #54181.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 8467dc857b doc: installing-usb: removes notes about unetbootin.
They are known to cause more issues than solving issues; futhermore
using `dd` should work everywhere without fail.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 8192fcd0fd doc: installing-usb make macOS note a note.
While it seemingly brings more attention to the macOS notes with the
default docbook template, it better represents which parts of the
section are about macOS, and which parts are simply in the flow of the
text; otherwise the last paragraph may be lost into the details for
macOS.

Update macos USB instructions
"Ejecting" from the Finder ejects the entire device which is then not available for dd. diskutil unmountDisk does the right thing. Furthermore writing to diskN instead of rdiskN failed to complete even after waiting >10 minutes.

Rastus Vernon d6998b0674 nixos manual: recommend use of dd for writing the image
Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.

Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.

vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close #14139.
