Applications added to the dock point to an old derivation when a new derivation of an application is added to the Nix store. This allows configuring the persistent applications to display system apps or apps in the Nix store.

Updates require re-login or restarting the Dock process e.g. killall Dock.

Dependent on:
#790

I was looking to use this setting. Has development stopped in this PR?

A lot of tests have to be re-written for this to be totally ready to merge. Besides that, probably just a rebase. Would be lovely to get the maintainers' opinion on #790 before re-writing all of the tests.

Complex container values like `-array` have their own DSL which does not
allow specifying all data types. Instead of using the DSL use plist
fragments instead.

I had to rebase, redo a bit of the implementation for testing, and finally added tests. New PR is opened up here: #898
