Before this commit, aarch64 users building the following configuration
would end up with an aarch64-linux builder, while after it, they get the
x86_64-linux builder they expect:
```nix
nix.linux-builder = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.darwin.linux-builder-x86_64;
};
```
Before, in order to get an x86_64-linux builder, they would have needed
to use this configuration instead:
```nix
nix.linux-builder = {
enable = true;
config.nixpkgs.hostPlatform = "x86_64-linux";
systems = ["x86_64-linux"];
};
```
The reason for this is that the linux-builder module calls `override` on
the package option, and the `linux-builder-x86_64` package is also
defined using override:
```nix
linux-builder-x86_64 = linux-builder.override {
modules = [ { nixpkgs.hostPlatform = "x86_64-linux"; } ];
};
```
The module was effectively discarding the `nixpkgs.hostPlatform` option.

As far as I can tell, this isn't required to get fonts to work on
NixOS, so we shouldn't require it on nix-darwin either, even if the
implementations are superficially similar.
Stricter launchd -> StartCalendarInterval type:
- Verify that the integers passed to `Minute`, `Hour`, etc. are within
range.
- When provided, the value for StartCalendarInterval must be a non-empty
list of calendar intervals and must not contain duplicates entries
(throw an error otherwise).
- For increased flexibility and backwards-compatibility, allow an
attrset to be passed as well (which will be type-checked and is
functionally equivalent to passing a singleton list). Allowing an
attrset or list is precisely in-line with what `launchd.plist(5)`
accepts for StartCalendarInterval.
Migrate `nix.gc.interval` and `nix.optimise.interval` over to use this
new type, and update their defaults to run weekly instead of daily.
Create `modules/launchd/types.nix` file for easier/modular use of
launchd types needed in multiple files.
Documentation:
- Update and improve wording/documentation of launchd's
`StartCalendarInterval`.
- Improve wording/documentation of `nix.gc.interval` and
`nix.optimise.interval` ("time interval" can be misleading as it's
actually a "calendar interval"; e.g. `{ Hour = 3; Minute = 15;}`
runs daily, not every 3.25 hours).
Previously, it was not possible to inject PATH entries between profiles
and the “default system” PATH entries. This confounds adding, e.g.
Homebrew on aarch64’s non-standard prefix as higher priority than the
builtin system paths, but lower than Nix profiles.
This is a backwards-incompatible change for some users, but should only
be so in the case a user used `mkOrder` with a value between 1000 (the
default priority) and 1200. Value of 1200 chosen as the same delta from
the default as just below in `environment.profiles` (which uses 800),
and mkAfter is 1500 so will still go after this.
It’s deterministic after all, so test against the full thing for greater
flexibility in testing and confidence in lack of unexpected changes to
previously-untested parts of the default $PATH.
Do this in a subshell to avoid polluting the test script’s environment.
One of cachix-agent's dependencies, `hs-certificate`, makes calls to
`security`. This lives in `/usr/bin`, which isn't available from
launchd. This commit makes the system paths available to cachix-agent.
Fixes#924.
