Subject: [PATCH] feat(configuration.nix): use Lix as the system Nix
 distribution

Set nix.package to pkgs.lix so the daemon, nixos-rebuild, and the nix CLI
run Lix instead of upstream CppNix. Lix comes from the already-pinned
nixpkgs (2.93.4), so this needs no new flake input or from-source build.
