Gabriel Smith 710e189c6e nixos/ups: run upsmon as non-root user "nutmon" by default ...

NUT documentation strongly suggests running `upsmon` as a non-root user
with very limited permissions. This includes only read access to
`upsmon.conf`.

Previously the `RUN_AS_USER` setting could be overwritten with
`mkForce`, but this left the system with technically incorrect
permissions on `upsmon.conf` that would prevent reloading. This patch
provides a way to change the user that `upsmon` runs as while
maintaining correct permissions on `upsmon.conf`.

Fixes #318582
