shairport-sync: don't daemonize #52554

Motivation for this change

As is, the shairport-sync service immediately exits after boot with the following message:

Dec 19 22:26:25 nixos shairport-sync[11226]: shutdown requested...

It looks like this is emitted when shairport-sync receives SIGINT or SIGTERM. My guess is that this is coming from systemd, though I don't understand much about the details.

The upstream systemd unit doesn't pass -d.

Removing -d from the arguments list by overriding it in my local configuration fixes the issue.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • 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 nox --run "nox-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)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This flag causes the shairport-sync server to attempt to daemonize, but it looks like systemd is already handling that. With the `-d` argument, shairport-sync immediately exits—it seems that something (systemd I'm guessing?) is sending it SIGINT or SIGTERM.

The [upstream systemd unit](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/master/scripts/shairport-sync.service.in#L10) doesn't pass `-d`.

Is a backport required?

It's broken in 18.09, but I don't know what the backport policy is here :) It's fixable in configuration.nix by overriding args.
