...but still allow for setting `dataDir` to a custom path. This gets
rid of the use of the deprecated option PermissionsStartOnly. Also, add
the ability to customize user and group, since that could be useful
with a custom `dataDir`.
By default, pgadmin4 uses SERVER_MODE = True. This requires
access to system directories (e.g. /var/lib/pgadmin). There is
no easy way to change this mode during runtime. One has to change
or add config files withing pgadmin's directory structure to change it
or add a system-wide config file under `/etc/pgadmin`[1].
This isn't always easy to achive or may not be possible at all. For
those usecases this implements a switch in the pgadmin4 derivation and
adds a new top-level package `pgadmin4-desktopmode`. This builds in
DESKTOP MODE and allows the usage of pgadmin4 without the nixOS module
and without access to system-wide directories.
pgadmin4 module saves the configuration to /etc/pgadmin/config_system.py
pgadmin4-desktopmode tries to read that as well. This normally fails with
a PermissionError, as the config file is owned by the user of the pgadmin module.
With the check-system-config-dir.patch this will just throw a warning
but will continue and not read the file.
If we run pgadmin4-desktopmode as root
(something one really shouldn't do), it can read the config file and fail,
because of the wrong config for desktopmode.

We test pgadmin in nixosTests, because it needs a running postgresql instance.
This is now unnecessary since we can do so in the package itself.
This reduces the complexity of pgadmin and removes the need for the extra
nixosTests.
Also setting SERVER_MODE in `pkg/pip/setup_pip.py` does not have any effect
on the final package, so we remove it.
In NixOS, we use the module, which expects SERVER_MODE to be true (which it defaults to).
In non-NixOS installations, we will need the directory /var/lib/pgadmin and /var/log/pgadmin

This commit fixes a papercut in nixos-rebuild where people wanting to
switch to a specialisation (or test one) were forced to manually figure
out the specialisation's path and run its activation script - since now,
there's a dedicated option to do just that.
This is a backwards-compatible change which doesn't affect the existing
behavior, which - to be fair - might still be considered sus by some
people, the painful scenario here being:
- you boot into specialisation `foo`,
- you run `nixos-rebuild switch`,
- whoops, you're no longer at specialisation `foo`, but you're rather
brought back to the base system.
(it's especially painful for cases where specialisation is used to load
extra drivers, e.g. Nvidia, since then launching `nixos-rebuild switch`,
while forgetting that you're inside a specialisation, can cause some
parts of your system to get accidentally unloaded.)
I've tried to mitigate that by improving specialisations so that they
create a dedicated file somewhere in `/run/current-system` containing
the specialisation's name (which `nixos-rebuild` could then use as the
default value for `--specialisation`), but I haven't been able to come
up with anything working (plus it would be a breaking change then).
