nix: fix applying nix.conf by using correct env var 

According to this line from the docs:

>The system-wide configuration file sysconfdir/nix/nix.conf (i.e. /etc/nix/nix.conf),
>or $NIX_CONF_DIR/nix.conf if NIX_CONF_DIR is set. Values loaded in this file are not
>forwarded to the Nix daemon. The client assumes that the daemon has already loaded them.

https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file.html#description

Our usage of `NIX_CONF_DIR` has been wrong for a while now.
The correct way of applying this config is using `NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`.

In addition the `extra-substituters` no longer exists in the docs.
Use of `trusted-substituters` is necessary according to:

>At least one of the following conditions must be met for Nix to use a substituter:
>
>- the substituter is in the trusted-substituters list
>- the user calling Nix is in the trusted-users list

## Ignoring Untrusted Substituter on NixOS
When using our setup on NixOS users can see this warning:
```
warning: ignoring untrusted substituter 'https://nix-cache.status.im/', you are not a trusted user.
```
Which is due to incorrect `trusted-users` setting:
```
> grep trusted-users /etc/nix/nix.conf
trusted-users = root
```
Which can be extended using the [`nix.settings.trusted-users`](https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=23.05&show=nix.settings.trusted-users) option.
