On my system (Ubuntu 24.04 with nix installed using
https://zero-to-nix.com/), I noticed that my PATH
contained multiple times the following entries:
/home/thomas/.nix-profile/bin
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin
Fix it by inserting a missing `export`, to make
sure `nix-daemon.sh` is really only executed once.

This does not include any automation for the release branch, but
is based on the configuration of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12349

Fixes a user report of trouble with toybox grep and avoids
potential of same basic issue with other utils.

Some of the code before https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11351 did not
have the problem. What remains wasn't all that problematic, but is good
to have anyway.
The Determinate Nix Installer has set nosuid and noatime in https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/1338, and figured this perf and security improvement is worthy of upstreaming.
The /nix volume shouldn't have setuid binaries anyway, and filesystems seem to generally be noatime on macOS.
Further, the garbage collector doesn't use atime.

Just now there is a dependency on cachix, which means we cannot test
the installer in CI if forks do not have the necessary secrets set up.
We replace this with a simple http server that serves the installer and
can be both used in CI and locally.

- This speeds up macOS builds from 30 minutes to 11 minutes (3x faster).
- Also improve error reporting e.g. printing out what actually failed to build.
- As a result we also no longer need swap.

Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our
default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid
clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time
while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.
(cherry picked from commit df36ff0d1e)
Different parts of the project honor different sets of proxy environment
variables. With this commit all parts of the project will honor the same
set of proxy environment variables.

The script at `/nix/store/...-nix-2.21.0/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh` was leaving behind a variable, which was visible in the user's shell environment, but not used outside the script.
The symbolic form in use here doesn't seem to have an effect
in either the BSD or coreutils install commands, leaving the
daemon plist with empty permissions. This seems to cause its
own problems.
I think I've got the right symbolic syntax now :)
On non-NixOS systems, the default `nix` install does not populate the
`$XDG_DATA_DIRS`. This populates it and enables things like bash-completion
and `.desktop` file detection for `nix` profile installed packages.
