home-manager-auto-upgrade: add flake support (#8053)

Browse source 
Adds the ability for the auto-upgrade service to update a Nix flake
instead of Nix channels.

This is controlled by a new `useFlake` boolean option. When enabled, the
service will run `nix flake update` in the directory specified by the
`flakeDir` option.

`flakeDir` defaults to the standard Home Manager configuration directory
(`~/.config/home-manager`), making this feature work out-of-the-box for
most users. The path is passed to the upgrade script via an environment
variable in the systemd service unit.

The home-manager auto-upgrade service now supports updating Nix flakes.
Enable this by setting `services.home-manager.autoUpgrade.useFlake = true;`.
The flake directory can be configured with `services.home-manager.autoUpgrade.flakeDir`,
which defaults to the configured XDG config home (typically `~/.config/home-manager`).
