Fix macOS sandbox build
Since c4c3c15c19bc448a4797e5d9577539cc14890618 (#4251) building Nix for macOS with sandboxing fails: ``` getting status of /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs: Operation not permitted ``` This happens, because `EvalSettings::getDefaultNixPath` tries to access paths outside the sandbox. Since the state-dir is not required for doc generation, it is set to the dummy folder. This needs to be done for all nix invocations during doc generation, as `EvalSettings::getDefaultNixPath` is called unconditionally.
