kicad5, kicad6, and kicad7 #2133

Legacy versions of KiCad are still widely used in industry, owing to stability issues introduced in newer versions. Unfortunately, if you try to just run KiCad 6 with nix run, the program crashes upon actually trying to start, e.g., schematic or PCB editor from the project launch screen.

STDERR gives a hint as to the problem, which is impurities in the execution environment:

It'd be great to have a working Nix package tested against up-to-date systems for these legacy versions of KiCad.
