Rename the compile-time configuration variable $HOMEBREWDIR to
$READ_ALLOWED_PATH, allow it to contain more than one directory,
and explain how to use it for NixOS and for GNU Guix Linux.
Feature improvement based on observations, input, and earlier patches
from Lukas Epple <sternenseemann at systemli dot org>, and final
patch also tested by Lukas.
