nixos/gnome3: launch gnome-shell wayland with RT scheduling

Browse source 
We create a wrapper which launches gnome-shell with the correct environment and
cap_sys_nice.

We can then override gnome-shell-wayland.service to use this wrapper.

NOTE: We need to force clear the environment, because the defaults aren't good
for user services. That should probably be fixed.
