zsh: set environment variables in zshenv instead of zprofile

This patch fixes two issues:

1. The file in which environment variables are set is inconsistent.
  - This file sets them in zprofile when programs.zsh.enable is not
  set.
  - Zsh module sets them in zshenv when programs.zsh.enable is set.

2. Setting environment variables in zprofile overrides what users set
in .zshenv.  See these[1] home-manager[2] issues[3].

/etc/profile is also changed to /etc/set-environment. Here is a
comparison:

Using /etc/profile:
- Pros
  - config.environment.shellInit is sourced in all zsh
- Cons
  - config.environment.loginShellInit is also sourced in non-login zsh
  - config.programs.bash.shellInit is also sourced in all zsh
  - config.programs.bash.loginShellInit is also sourced in all zsh

Using /etc/set-environment:
- Pros
  - config.programs.bash.shellInit is not sourced in any zsh
  - config.programs.bash.loginShellInit is not sourced in any zsh
- Cons
  - config.environment.shellInit is not sourced in any zsh
  - config.environment.loginShellInit is not sourced in any zsh

   The `{aclUse,superUser,disableActions}` attributes have been renamed, `pluginsConfig` now also accepts an attribute set of booleans, passing plain PHP is deprecated.
   Same applies to `acl` which now also accepts structured settings.
 
+- The `zsh` package changes the way to set environment variables on NixOS systems where `programs.zsh.enable` equals `false`.  It now sources `/etc/set-environment` when reading the system-level `zshenv` file.  Before, it sourced `/etc/profile` when reading the system-level `zprofile` file.
+
 - The `wordpress` service now takes configuration via the `services.wordpress.sites.<name>.settings` attribute set, `extraConfig` is still available to append  additional text to `wp-config.php`.
 
 - To reduce closure size in `nixos/modules/profiles/minimal.nix` profile disabled installation documentations and manuals. Also disabled `logrotate` and `udisks2` services.
