Subject: [PATCH] nixos/parallels-guest: fix prltoolsd on NixOS for Parallels
 26+

Parallels Desktop 26+ changed the shared folder mount base path from
/media/psf to /mnt/psf. The prltoolsd daemon tries to create mount
point subdirectories under /mnt/psf at runtime using mkdir, which
fails on NixOS because /mnt/psf does not exist.

Fix: create /mnt/psf declaratively via systemd.tmpfiles.

Additionally, prltoolsd's shell mount scripts invoke coreutils
utilities (tail, mkdir, chmod) and sed without inheriting the service
PATH in all execution paths. Add coreutils and gnused to the service
path so these tools are reliably available.

Note: prltoolsd also attempts to update /etc/fstab, which is a
read-only Nix store symlink on NixOS. This produces a harmless warning
but does not affect the FUSE-based mounting via prl_fsd.

Tested on: NixOS 26.05, Parallels Desktop 26.3.0-57392, aarch64
