This commit removes the `run_command`-based execution model for Nix flake
installations and replaces it with a direct `os.system` invocation.
This ensures that *all* Nix diagnostics (stdout/stderr) are fully visible and
no longer suppressed by wrapper logic.

Key changes:

* Directly run `nix profile install` via `os.system` for full error output
* Correctly decode real exit codes via `os.WIFEXITED` / `os.WEXITSTATUS`
* Preserve mandatory/optional behavior for flake outputs
* Update unit tests to the new execution model using `unittest`
* Add complete coverage for:

  * successful installs
  * mandatory failures → raise SystemExit(code)
  * optional failures → warn and continue
  * environment-based disabling via `PKGMGR_DISABLE_NIX_FLAKE_INSTALLER`
* Remove obsolete mocks and legacy test logic that assumed `run_command`

Overall, this improves transparency, debuggability, and correctness of the
Nix flake installer while maintaining full backward compatibility at the
interface level.
