Infra is interested in deprecating the redirect over the domain apex eventually, since it is just a redirect to channels.nixos.org, which we can more reliably redistribute with a CDN.

The nixos.org domain currently offers no IPv6 due to issues we've had with our DNS hoster. (cf. NixOS/infra#873)

Thanks you @mweinelt!
I've opened NixOS/nix#14518 to do the same in Nix itself.

This is a follow-up for NixOS#460057 to completely remove all mentions of nixos.org/channels/.

The following command was used to generate this change:

```
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's|nixos.org/channels/|channels.nixos.org/|g' {} +
