dropbox: use buildFHSUserEnv
Instead of adapting Dropbox to NixOS with patchelf, NixOS is adapted to Dropbox
with an FHS user environment. A crash due to missing libXert (#15356) is
fixed. The client's automatic updater is fixed; this obviates the need to
update Dropbox in Nixpkgs every time the client is updated upstream!

Resolves: #15356
