Import-from-derivation (IFD) has problematic performance, and is disabled in
Nixpkgs by policy. It is arguably good practice for libraries to avoid
it whenever possible, as it has poor ergonomics in some cases,
especially with dry builds, as it requires multiple eval+build phases.
As such, prevent its use in Home Manager by default by putting existing
tests that use IFD behind a config. In CI, run a first pass with IFD
disabled, skipping tests without the config. Then run a second pass with
IFD enabled and including tests with the config. This second pass will
also run tests without the config, but they should be cached from the
previous run, so the cost is not double (only eval time should be paid
twice). It’s necessary to change from using NMT’s `run` to `build` as
`run` itself uses IFD.
Of the tests that have the config:
- kitty/theme-to-themeFile: this is a test for deprecated config, and so
should be removed eventually anyway
- podman: the implementation relies on IFD to create individual systemd
units from the derivation output, and so it is not straightforward to
remove the IFD; doing so would require rethinking how the module works
to instead have the systemd unit files included as-is rather than as
individually configured units in the Nix config.
This allows better support for using kitty's built-in shell integration
method by setting `shellIntegration.mode' to `null', which makes it not
be set at all in the config file and disables modification to shell
initialization scripts by default. If this is used, the user should set
`settings.shell_integration' instead (if shell integration is desired),
which receives no special handling.
Instead of having to manually stub packages that should not be
downloaded we instead automatically stub all packages (except a small
list of whitelisted ones). Tests can re-introduce the real package by
using the `realPkgs` module argument.
This ensures that `KITTY_SHELL_INTEGRATION` is manually set to the
user's `shellIntegration.mode`. This is necessary because sometimes
the variable is not set in subshells or splits.
`shellIntegration.mode` is also now ensured to always contain `no-rc`.
Kitty provides integrations for bash, fish and zsh. The new
programs.kitty.shellIntegration options allow the configuration of
these integrations.

This option provides a more convenient way to overlay dummy packages.
It also adds a function `config.lib.test.mkStubPackage` that can,
e.g., be used for `package` options.
