{ids,checks}: update for new builder UID/GID values

+- The default Nix build user group ID is now set to 350 when
+  `system.stateVersion` ≥ 5, to reflect the default for new Nix
+  installations. This only affects installations that enable
+  `nix.configureBuildUsers`, and any divergence will be detected on
+  system activation. To use `nix.configureBuildUsers` with a higher
+  `system.stateVersion` on installations using the old group ID, set:
+
+      ids.gids.nixbld = 30000;
+
+  We do not recommend trying to change the group ID with macOS user
+  management tools without a complete uninstallation and reinstallation
+  of Nix.
