We now assume the daemon is used unconditionally when we manage the
Nix installation.
The `nix.gc` and `nix.optimise` services lose their `$NIX_REMOTE`
setting rather than making it unconditional, as the NixOS `nix.gc`
module does not set it. Possibly it should, but I think uniformity
between the two systems is better than diverging, even though I kind
of hate that the non‐daemon method of access is even a thing.
This is an equivalent of the `nix.enable` option from NixOS
and Home Manager. On NixOS, it mostly serves to allow building
fixed‐configuration systems without any Nix installation at
all. It should work for that purpose with nix-darwin too, and the
implementation is largely the same, but the main use case is more
similar to the Home Manager option: to allow the use of nix-darwin
with an unmanaged system installation of Nix, including when there
is another service expecting to manage it, as with Determinate.
By providing an escape hatch to opt out of Nix management entirely,
this will also allow us to consolidate and simplify our existing Nix
installation management, by being more opinionated about things like
taking ownership of the daemon and the build users. Porting one option
from NixOS lets us drop two that only ever existed in nix-darwin and
reduce overall complexity.

- mistaken refactor meant that service waited for nix store and not the relevant path
This process was automated by [my fork of `nix-doc-munge`]; thanks
to @pennae for writing this tool! It automatically checks that the
resulting documentation doesn't change, although my fork loosens
this a little to ignore some irrelevant whitespace and typographical
differences.
As of this commit there is no DocBook remaining in the options
documentation.

Stop using `nice` related options like NixOS, and because `launchd`
recommends using `ProcessType` instead. Note this commit also changes
the default `ProcessType` for the `nix-daemon` from `Interactive` to
`Standard`.
This makes the service start on demand when a client connects to the
daemon socket, instead of keeping it alive.
services.nix-daemon.enableSocketListener = true;
