Breaking Changes

Config paths are no longer canonicalized

This fixes nix configs changing shell-ids on rebuild as the shell id is now derived from the symlink path. Configs with a symlink in their path will have a different shell id.

Shell ids are used to derive the default config / state / cache folders, so those files will need to be manually moved if using a config behind a symlinked path without an explicitly set shell id.
