nixComponents_2_30: add patch for GHSA-g3g9-5vj6-r3gj

This addresses GHSA-g3g9-5vj6-r3gj, a vulnerability where
std::filesystem::copy_file follows symlinks when copying FOD outputs,
allowing a malicious builder to overwrite files outside the build
sandbox.

The patch puts FOD output copies in a temporary directory inside the
store (instead of the chroot) and tightens permissions on the
in-store temporary directory.
