[2411.6.0] Valiant Vicuña

Patch Notes

Besides NixOS 24.11, this release is the first one to ship as a .wsl file. If you have a recent WSL version installed, you can now install NixOS-WSL simply by double-clicking the nixos.wsl file after downloading it. It can of course still be installed using the command line with either wsl --install --from-file or wsl --import. For details, see the installation instructions.
As announced on the previous release, support for the legacy method of running systemd in a container (syschdemd) has been removed.
