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.
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.

For brand new installations, neither NIX_LINK_NEW
(`$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile` or `~/.local/state/nix/profile`), nor
NIX_LINK (`~/.nix-profile`) will exist.
This restores functionality to nix-env, which is relied upon by GitHub
Actions such as https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action and the Nixpkgs
EditorConfig (and other) CI.
One of our CI machines installs Nix via the official script and then
sources the nix-profile.sh script to setup the environment. However, it
doesn't have XDG_STATE_HOME set, which causes sourcing the script to
fail.
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

Among all the characters that are allowed in a URL, both the percentage
sign "%" and the single quotation mark "'" needs escaping when written
as a environment variable in a systemd service file. While the single
quotation mark may be rare, the percentage sign is widely used to escape
characters in a URL. This is especially common in proxy setting, where
username and password may contain special characters that need
percentage escaping. This patch applies the following replacements:
% -> %%
' -> \'
If there was a prior nix installation that created this backup file and
then you tried to install it again, it would stop to tell you there is
this file. But if the file and its backup are identical in content,
there is no harm in continuing and in a later step overwriting the
existing backup file with the identical one. This is just a convenience
feature.
The `fish_add_path` function is only available for fish 3.2.0 or newer,
and not on older versions.
This commit adds an alternative way to update the PATH when
`fish_add_path` does not exist.
being too specific about it requires more maintenance (or otherwise
produced more confusion and churn), since these points of contact change
over time.
