Lists items are not directly accessible like attributes in attrsets are.
This makes it hard to represent their address in `UPDATE_NIX_ATTR_PATH`
environment variable passed to update scripts.
Given that I only introduced list support for `gnome3` attribute set
and we stopped using them there, let’s remove the list support again.
NixOS modules are better place for package collections anyway.
This was meant to go in with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/98304
but got accidentally omitted somehow.
The vscodium project is now releasing artifacts with slightly different naming: `VSCodium-darwin-${VSCODIUM_VER}.zip` is now `VSCodium-darwin-x64-${VSCODIUM_VER}.zip`. This is likely due to arrival of the new ARM-based macs. In any case, it does mean that we need to update `update-vscodium.sh` to pull the correct artifact down.
See db236e588d "steam: Do $PATH lookup in steam.desktop [...]".
tl;dr: Otherwise widget/panel/desktop icons in DEs like KDE break.
As upstream's .desktop file does not contain any executable paths,
simply avoid substitution.

configuration.nix(1) states
users.extraUsers.<name>.createHome
[...] If [...] the home directory already exists but is not
owned by the user, directory owner and group will be changed to
match the user.
i.e. ownership would change only if the user mismatched; the code
however ignores the owner, it is sufficient to enable `createHome`:
if ($u->{createHome}) {
make_path($u->{home}, { mode => 0700 }) if ! -e $u->{home};
chown $u->{uid}, $u->{gid}, $u->{home};
}
Furthermore, permissions are ignored on already existing directories and
therefore may allow others to read private data eventually.
Given that createHome already acts as switch to not only create but
effectively own the home directory, manage permissions in the same
manner to ensure the intended default and cover all primary attributes.
Avoid yet another configuration option to have administrators make a
clear and simple choice between securely managing home directories
and optionally defering management to own code (taking care of custom
location, ownership, mode, extended attributes, etc.).
While here, simplify and thereby fix misleading documentation.
pip install deprecated the --build flag. The standard python
installPhase (in pip-install-hook.sh) got updated in commit
76966f8ddd, but we use a custom one so
we need to update it separately.
