Feature Request - storing gcroot under /nix/var/nix/ #118

When using colmena apply --keep-result, could the symlink go into /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$(whoami)/colmena instead of dumping it into the .gcroots directory relative to the configuration?

This would be similar to how nixops does it.

This would also avoid issues with things getting garbage collected early if for whatever reason /home isn't available, which might be the case when /home is on a LUKS volume.

Just to add a bit of context - nix-direnv wants to continue with indirect gcroots due a range of other files being written to its state directory. As colmena just generates a single symlink for the node, doing direct gcroots would work perfectly fine.
