fix(nix): make addToSystemPackages fully functional for interactive CLI (#6317)
* fix(nix): export HERMES_HOME system-wide when addToSystemPackages is true

The `addToSystemPackages` option's documentation (and the `:::tip` block in
`website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md`) promises that enabling it both
puts the `hermes` CLI on PATH and sets `HERMES_HOME` system-wide so interactive
shells share state with the gateway service. The module only did the former,
so running `hermes` in a user shell silently created a separate `~/.hermes/`
directory instead of the managed `${stateDir}/.hermes`.

Implement the documented behavior by also setting
`environment.variables.HERMES_HOME = "${cfg.stateDir}/.hermes"` in the same
mkIf block, and update the option description to match.

Fixes #6044

* fix(nix): preserve group-readable permissions in managed mode

The NixOS module sets HERMES_HOME directories to 0750 and files to 0640
so interactive users in the hermes group can share state with the gateway
service. Two issues prevented this from working:

1. hermes_cli/config.py: _secure_dir() unconditionally chmod'd HERMES_HOME
   to 0700 on every startup, overwriting the NixOS module's 0750. Similarly,
   _secure_file() forced 0600 on config files. Both now skip in managed mode
   (detected via .managed marker or HERMES_MANAGED env var).

2. nix/nixosModules.nix: the .env file was created with 0600 (owner-only),
   while config.yaml was already 0640 (group-readable). Changed to 0640 for
   consistency — users granted hermes group membership should be able to read
   the managed .env.

Verified with a NixOS VM integration test: a normal user in the hermes group
can now run `hermes version` and `hermes config` against the managed
HERMES_HOME without PermissionError.
