Travis A. Everett 505d6ee5e2 darwin-install: work around existing vim swapfiles
User on Matrix reported install problems which presented as
"vifs:editing error" which we traced back to vim griping about an
existing swap file. When opened interactively, it did this:

E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name "/etc/.fstab.swp"
owned by: root dated: Sön Apr 24 16:54:10 2022
file name: /private/etc/fstab
modified: YES
user name: root host name: MBP.local
process ID: 1698
While opening file "/etc/fstab"
dated: Sön Apr 24 16:56:27 2022
NEWER than swap file!

Travis A. Everett 240124f7b1 darwin-install: fix break from bad vimrc
It looks like the `--noplugin` flag added in  wasn't enough to
skirt this class of vim-init error, so this is swing 2 at a full fix.
Fixes .

Travis A. Everett ba9a8c4b3d install-darwin: track mount permission edge-case fix
Same as 1fd127a068, but applied to a
code path (volume_pass_works -> verify_volume_pass) that the reporting
user didn't hit and wasn't able to trigger manually. I am not certain
but I suspect it will be easier to add prophylactically than to debug
if its absence causes trouble some day.

Travis A. Everett 1fd127a068 install-darwin: fix mount permission edge-case
Fixes , which reports a problem with trying to run the installer
under another user (probably: user is not the disk "owner" and thus
can't mount the volume).

Travis A. Everett abdf9f2a6e darwin-install: fix already-mounted store volumes
This adds an explicit unmount of the store volume to avoid cases
where the installer can hang in await_volume when:
- the user already has a store volume
- that volume is already mounted somewhere other than /nix
- they do not take a path through the installer that results in an
  explicit unmount (as both removing and encrypting the volume
  would do)

Travis A. Everett bf2ee3c565 install: fix addVolume perm issue for some users
As reported in , volume creation can fail with a permission error
for some macOS users (probably secondary user accounts?) Sudo appears
to be sufficient to avoid this.

While I'm here, I also updated the sudo invocation added in 079bde2ae
to use the _sudo explanation wrapper.

Travis A. Everett e736f8f6e4 replace xpath with xmllint --xpath; simplify
As mentioned in previous commit, Big Sur changes the syntax for the
xpath command slightly.

In the process of testing out replacements for these, I noticed a few
small simplification wins.

focus on golden-path covering most scenarios
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with
anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing
setup--not enforcing a best-practice...

Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers:

+ no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume:
  All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use)

+ create new unencrypted volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault

+ create new encrypted-at-rest volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault
  Catalina, T2, no FileVault

- require user to pre-create encrypted volume
  Catalina, T2, FileVault

install: configure and bootstrap synthetic.conf on darwin
Starting macOS 10.15 /nix can't be creasted directly anymore due to the
readonly filesystem, but synthetic.conf was introduced to enable
creating mountpoints or symlinks for special usecases like package
managers.
