Rollup merge of #115117 - pnkfelix:detect-and-report-nix-shell, r=albertlarsan68

Detect and report nix shell

Better diagnostics for people using nix subshell on non-NixOS.

1. Turned patch-binaries-for-nix from a boolean into a ternary flag: true, false, and unset.

2. When patch-binaries-for-nix is unset, we continue with the existing NixOS detection heuristic (look for nixos in /etc/os-release, if present), but if we are not atop NixOS, then issue a note if we see the IN_NIX_SHELL environment variable telling the user to consider setting patch-binaries-for-nix explicitly.

Fix #115073
