nixos/gnome: Remove realtime scheduling option

It is now accomplished using rtkit rather than setcap wrapper:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2060

Replace the option with `security.rtkit.enable`.

- The `gnome-passwordsafe` package updated to [version 6.x](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/secrets/-/tags/6.0) and renamed to `gnome-secrets`.
- `services.gnome.experimental-features.realtime-scheduling` option has been removed, as GNOME Shell now [uses rtkit](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2060). Use `security.rtkit.enable = true;` instead. As before, you will need to have it enabled using GSettings.
- If you previously used `/etc/docker/daemon.json`, you need to incorporate the changes into the new option `virtualisation.docker.daemon.settings`.
- Ntopng (`services.ntopng`) is updated to 5.2.1 and uses a separate Redis instance if `system.stateVersion` is at least `22.05`. Existing setups shouldn't be affected.

Makes mutter (which propagates to gnome-shell) request a low priority real-time
scheduling which is only available on the wayland session.
To enable this experimental feature it requires a restart of the compositor.
Note that enabling this option only enables the <emphasis>capability</emphasis>
for realtime-scheduling to be used. It doesn't automatically set the gsetting
so that mutter actually uses realtime-scheduling. This would require adding <literal>
rt-scheduler</literal> to <literal>/org/gnome/mutter/experimental-features</literal>
with dconf-editor. You cannot use extraGSettingsOverrides because that will only
change the default value of the setting.
Please be aware of these known issues with the feature in nixos:
