Subject: [PATCH] nickel: switch optional nix-experimental input to nix_2_31

The nix-experimental feature compiles against the Nix 2.31 headers, but
libnixmain now tries to create /nix/var/nix/profiles during
initialisation, which the build sandbox rejects. Skip the affected
integration test when enableNixImport is set.

The default build (enableNixImport = false) is bit-identical.
