factor: a standard working directory is set to be in /nix/store

[gunnihinn]

Describe the bug

This is a regression of 46300.

The Factor programming language sets up a repl that expects to live in a writable directory, but lives in /nix/store instead.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the factor-lang package.
2. Run the first two steps of the tutorial:

USE: tools.scaffold
"palindrome" scaffold-work

Error message:

Unix system call “mkdir” failed:

Read-only file system (30)

It was called with the following arguments:

"/nix/store/yg965y0vqcjkqaflg1f1vwf4r4574rv5-factor-lang-0.98/..."
511

Expected behavior

Factor should write to /var/lib/factor as per the patches in MR 48727. That directory exists, is owned by my system user and group, and has 775 permissions.
