nixos/fish: programs.fish.generateCompletions fix spaces in filenames

Browse Source 
`linux-manual` has this fun filename in it:

```console
$ find -L $(nix-build -A linux-manual) -name 'station table - introduction.9.gz'
/nix/store/q45mzaksp2ll04c363mxpyi252j6anrq-linux-manual-7.1.3/share/man/man9/station table - introduction.9.gz
```

Our `find ... | xargs ...` didn't handle this nicely, and would vomit in the
following way:

`repro.nix`:

```nix
$ cat repro.nix
let
  pkgs = import ./. { };
  nixosConfig = pkgs.nixos (
    { config, pkgs, ... }: {
      system.stateVersion = config.system.nixos.release;

      programs.fish.enable = true;
      programs.fish.generateCompletions = true;

      environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.linux-manual ];
    }
  );
in
nixosConfig.config.environment.etc."fish/generated_completions".source
```

The crash:

```console
$ nix-build repro.nix

```

This fix is simple, use the `find -print0 ... | xargs -0 ...` pattern.
