dconf: disable on darwin
While technically dconf on darwin could work, our activation step
requires dbus, which only *lightly* supports Darwin in general, and not
at all in the way it's packaged in nixpkgs. Because of this, we just
disable dconf for darwin hosts by default.

In the future, if someone gets dbus working, this _could_ be re-enabled,
unclear whether there's actual value in it though.
