Will Dietz f3a114e088 NIX_PATH: don't prepend $HOME-based value in session variable, set later 
environment.sessionVariables cannot refer to the values of env vars,
and as a result this has caused problems in a variety of scenarios.

One use for these is that they're injected into /etc/profile,
elewhere these are used to populate an 'envfile' for pam
(`pam 5 pam_env.conf`) which mentions use of HOME being
potentially problematic.

Anyway if the goal is to make things easier for users,
simply do the NIX_PATH modification as extraInit.

This fixes the annoying problems generated by the current approach
(#40165 and others) while hopefully serving the original goal.

One way to check if things are borked is to try:

$ sudo env | grep NIX_PATH

Which (before this change) prints NIX_PATH variable with
an unexpanded $HOME in the value.

-------

This does mean the following won't contain user channels for 'will':
$ sudo -u will nix-instantiate --eval -E builtins.nixPath

However AFAICT currently they won't be present either,
due to unescaped $HOME.  Unsure if similar situation for other users
of sessionVariables (not sudo) work with current situation
(if they exist they will regress after this change AFAIK).

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
