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!

It looks like the `--noplugin` flag added in #5489 wasn't enough to
skirt this class of vim-init error, so this is swing 2 at a full fix.
Fixes #6462.

Same as 1fd127a06833c19a5a2965bd41cf4f695773cca6, 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.

Fixes #6122, 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).

darwin-install: fix break from bad vim plugins

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)

As reported in #5198, 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.

For external hard disks where ownership is not enabled by default.

Fixes #3957. Just runs both forms to minimize moving parts.

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.

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

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.
