This removes our hardcoded presets which weren't updated for quite some time. Infinality now has new hardcoded presets in freetype, which can be overriden if desired with environment variables (as before). Accordingly, updated NixOS module to set the hardcoded preset. Additionally used a more "right" type for substitutions.
