Limit is already increased for standard xorg plasma distribution to
start, but with wayland, even more libraries being added
Increasing this limit to 1 << 20 (1M) seems to be enough (For me
length is 80K), and not so much for regular desktops

Nix expressions provide all the features that Quilt series files have,
so using those instead is pointless. Also, lib.readPathsFromFile
(the function used to read series files) has the following warning:
> NOTE: This function is not performant and should be avoided.
This also removes some orphaned series files, and unused references to
copyPathsToStore (which were probably missed in previous commits
where calls to lib.readPathsFromFile were removed)
start_kdeinit reads its environment over a pipe from start_kdeinit_wrapper. For
security, each environment entry must be smaller than 4kb by default. Qt-based
applications in Nixpkgs may have larger environments, and the recent upgrade to
Plasma 5.17 pushed start_kdeinit_wrapper over the limit. The limit is now
extended to 16kb.
This problem was not detected during testing because the failure is silent:
start_kdeinit will continue with an empty environment. In other circumstances,
this strategy might work, but it does not work on NixOS. This failure is now
treated as a fatal error.
Fixes: #79707
- Reduce environment pollution with a separate $bin output containing programs,
plugins, and shared data. Libraries remain in $out and are not installed into
the environment.
- Only propagate build inputs as required.
