fix(overlay): patch font-manager 0.9.4 for gtk4 4.22 Vala errors

font-manager 0.9.4 fails to compile against gtk4 4.22: the Gtk.DragIcon.get_for_drag binding changed in the gtk4 vapi, producing 'use new operator' errors in Collections.vala and FontList.vala that broke home-manager-path for AZ-LT-NIX. Fix is upstream PR FontManager/font-manager#468, already carried by nixpkgs master but predating our locked nixpkgs-unstable. Vendor the patch as an overlay mod (from m3tam3re/nixos-config overlays/mods) and enable outputs.overlays.modifications in hosts/common. Thin clients are unaffected - they do not import hosts/common. Drop once the nixpkgs lock carries fix-compilation-error-with-newer-vala-versions.patch. Also resolve the evaluation warning on AZ-LT-NIX where programs.nh.clean.enable and nix.gc.automatic were both enabled: keep the nh clean timer (--keep 3 --keep-since 4d) and disable the plain nix-gc timer via mkForce on this host only.

+# font-manager 0.9.4: fix compilation against gtk4 >= 4.22 / newer Vala.
+#
+# In GTK 4.22 the Gtk.DragIcon.get_for_drag binding changed in the gtk4
+# vapi, turning `Gtk.DragIcon.get_for_drag(drag)` into a hard Vala error
+# ("use `new' operator to create new objects") in Collections.vala and
+# FontList.vala.  0.9.4 is the latest upstream release and even upstream
+# master is unfixed; the fix lives in FontManager/font-manager#468 and is
+# already carried as a patch by current nixpkgs master — but our locked
+# nixpkgs-unstable predates it.
+#
+# Vendored from m3tam3re/nixos-config overlays/mods (2026-08-31).
+# Drop this overlay (and the patch file) once our nixpkgs lock advances
+# past nixpkgs@e2ad529-vendoring (pkgs/by-name/fo/font-manager carries
+# fix-compilation-error-with-newer-vala-versions.patch).
