Issue description

KISYSMOD and KISYS3DMOD point to missing directories. On my system they are /nix/store/dlx19m6rpfh79nqng9n7yxflr1vkqyn0-kicad-5.0.0/share/kicad/modules and /nix/store/dlx19m6rpfh79nqng9n7yxflr1vkqyn0-kicad-5.0.0/share/kicad/modules/packages3d/, respectively. Neither of these paths exist though. I do see a few other kicad-5.0.0 directories in the Nix store, but I'm not sure if I should use those (and if so, which one).

Steps to reproduce

  1. rm -rf ~/.config/kicad
  2. kicad
  3. View the environment variables (Preferences > Configure Paths...)

Technical details

 - system: `"x86_64-linux"`
 - host os: `Linux 4.14.76, NixOS, 18.09.932.09195057114 (Jellyfish)`
 - multi-user?: `yes`
 - sandbox: `yes`
 - version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.1.1`
 - channels(root): `"nixos-18.09.932.09195057114"`
 - channels(alex): `"nixpkgs-18.09pre151052.4477cf04b67"`
 - nixpkgs: `/home/alex/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs`

The library is also supposed to be at /nix/store/v6lx1n4ilkkh33ym55avkj7wz665lkh9-kicad-5.0.2/share/kicad/library which does not exist while KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR points to it.

kicad: fix NixOS#49089 by adding libraries files
2f5439a 
This splits the KiCad package in several derivations:
- original package (main KiCad package)
- internationalization package
- templates
- schematic symbols libraries
- PCB footprints libraries
- 3D models libraries

From these derivations, 2 packages are exposed in top level:
- `kicad` (main KiCad package + all libraries except 3D models)
- `kicad-with-3dpackages` (kicad + all libraries)

The 3D models can also be installed separately with `kicad.packages3d`.
This prevents a new compilation of KiCad, but the user must set the
`KISYS3DMOD` environment variable or option accordingly.

Mostly fixed by #57452. Symbols and footprints are now included, and the variables point to the correct location. We don't have the 3D models by default as they're five gigabytes, for that you need to use the kicad-with-packages3d derivation (which unfortunately means recompiling kicad for now).
