fix(systemd): use absolute %h/.nix-profile/bin paths in user units
The previous environment.d fix was insufficient: even with the nix profile
on the --user manager's PATH (confirmed via `systemctl --user
show-environment`), bare-name ExecStart= still fails 203/EXEC. systemd's
--user manager does not resolve a bare ExecStart binary against the
imported/environment.d PATH.
Invoke each unit's main binary by absolute path %h/.nix-profile/bin/<name>
(waybar, swayidle, swayrd, inhibridge, wl-paste, wob). %h expands to $HOME
at unit load. Secondary lookups those binaries/scripts perform (cliphist,
swaymsg, playerctl) still rely on PATH, which environment.d provides — so
that file stays, with its comment corrected to reflect this split.
