Motivation for this change

resolve #99114

Its especially important because NixOS/nix#4081 is preventing building installing of flake based systems without --impure at the time of writing.

Things done
  • Built the nixos manpages
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Side remark: The situation around the nixos-* tools is somewhat sub-optimal in general, because the various nix options have to be kept in sync in several places like this. Would probably benefit from rewriting as a single executable / script.
