Motivation for this change

It is not necessary to source all possible completions found in NIX_PROFILES. As the list found in NIX_PROFILES is a subset of XDG_DATA_DIRS, we can instead rely on bash-completion's lazy
loading facilty
.

This change can reduce shell startup time significantly.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-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/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Haven't tried it, but seems like a good idea! Can you update this (resolve the merge conflicts)?
