Stage a cross-filesystem copy in a private directory instead of deleting a
pre-existing PATH.partial, reject destinations inside the overlay work
directory, save the new path before deleting the old prefix, and verify that
the target keeps user.* xattrs before and after copying. Add tests.

The prefix holds the installed clients and game (about 40 GB). The Nix
launcher always exported DPREFIX=${DPREFIX:-~/.darling}, so the prefix saved
in build/config.json was never used and the only way to move it was an
environment variable in every launch context.
- The launcher uses DPREFIX if set, then the saved prefix, then ~/.darling.
- darling-lol --set-prefix PATH runs scripts/nix-prefix.py in the namespace,
whose root owns the prefix files, so cp -a keeps their owners and xattrs.
It renames the prefix when possible; across filesystems it copies to
PATH.partial and removes the old prefix and its overlay work directory
only after the copy completes. A PATH that already holds a Darling prefix
is used as it is. It refuses non-empty directories that are not prefixes,
nested paths and paths with commas or colons (overlayfs separators), then
saves the path with configure.py --prefix.

After the clients quit, the session kept Darling running: Riot and League
crash handlers never exit under Darling, and the idle check counted them as
clients. Ctrl+C or closing the terminal killed bubblewrap, whose
--die-with-parent then killed nix-lifecycle.py before it could shut Darling
down, which left a live server marker behind.
- nix-idle.py ignores crash handlers when deciding whether a client still
uses the prefix.
- The launcher starts bubblewrap with INT, QUIT, HUP and TERM ignored, and
env restores them inside. The supervisor turns them into a stop request.
- nix-lifecycle.py polls for a signal or stop request and then shuts Darling
down without waiting for clients. It stops retrying a failed shutdown once
the server is gone, and waits for or kills its own command afterwards.
- darling-lol --stop makes the stop request and waits for the session. If
the session does not exit within 30 seconds, or no session holds the lock,
it kills the prefix's darlingserver and launchd like darling shutdown,
after checking that the marker PID is this user's darlingserver for this
prefix.
