nixos/gamemode: use listsAsDuplicateKeys for settings
This allows settings multiple scripts in `.custom.start` and
`.custom.end`, as Gamemode reads them back out into a list.

This is slightly annoying, as *any* duplicate keys will appear multiple
times, while gamemode will only accept the last one for most keys
(clobbering previous ones). Ideally, it would be possible to only enable
`listsAsDuplicateKeys` for scripts, but this does not seem to be
possible in `pkgs.formats.ini`.
