8573 34435a9502 redshift: Fix default value of $DISPLAY (#17746)
Before commit 54fa0cfe4eef7e54e23380704af70ee7b65473ce, the `redshift`
service was run with the environment variable `DISPLAY` set to `:0`.

Commit 54fa0cfe4eef7e54e23380704af70ee7b65473ce changed this to
instead use the value of the `services.xserver.display` configuration
option in the value of the `DISPLAY` variable. In so doing, no default
value was provided for the case where `services.xserver.display` is
`null`.

While the default value of `services.xserver.display` is `0`, use of
which by the `redshift` module would result in `DISPLAY` again being
set to `:0`, `services.xserver.display` may also be `null`, to which
value it is set by, e.g., the `lightdm` module.

In the case that `services.xserver.display` is `null`, with the change
made in commit 54fa0cfe4eef7e54e23380704af70ee7b65473ce, the `DISPLAY`
variable in the environment of the `redshift` service would be set to
`:` (a single colon), which, according to my personal experience,
would result in —

  - the `redshift` service failing to start; and

  - systemd repeatedly attempting to restart the `redshift` service,
    looping indefinitely, while the hapless `redshift` spews error
    messages into the journal.

It can be observed that the malformed value of `DISPLAY` is likely at
fault for this issue by executing the following commands in an
ordinary shell, with a suitable `redshift` executable, and the X11
display not already tinted:

  - `redshift -O 2500` — This command should reduce the color
    temperature of the display (making it more reddish).

  - `DISPLAY=':' redshift -O 6500` — This command should raise the
    color temperature back up, were it not for the `DISPLAY`
    environment variable being set to `:` for it, which should cause
    it to, instead, fail with several error messages.

This commit attempts to fix this issue by having the `DISPLAY`
environment variable for the `redshift` service default to its old
value of `:0` in the case that `services.xserver.display` is `null`.

I have tested this solution on NixOS, albeit without the benefit of a
system with multiple displays.
