less: improve default settings (#139988)
* less: enable by default and set LESS=-R via lesskey

* since we set PAGER=less, programs.less.enable should default to
  true.

* some programs, notably git, set a custom LESS environment if none is
  present.  using the lesskey mechanism to set LESS=-R lets such
  programs continue to run less as they see fit.

This reverts commit 0e7b4e60a8.

* less: remove use of deprecated lesskey binary format

* less: enable in environment.nix rather than less.nix

6e4096d792 nixos/less: add configFile option
Expose the path to a lesskey file as a module option. This makes it
possible to maintain a single lesskey file, used for both NixOS and
non-nix systems. An example of how this can be done follows.

1. Write a derivation that fetches lesskey from a known location:

  { stdenv, fetchgit }:
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "foo";
    src = fetchgit { .. };
    phases = [ "unpackPhase" "installPhase" ];
    installPhase = "mkdir -p $out && cp $src/lesskey $out/lesskey";
  }

2. Set programs.less.configFile to the corresponding path:

    programs.less = {
      enable = true;
      configFile = "${pkgs.foo}/lesskey";
    };

288898d6f1 nixos/less: use lesspipe package for preprocessing
Rather than a custom script the less config now uses the lesspipe
package config by default.
