Addresses a peculiar bug I encountered where certain apps would fail to load and log Cannot redeclare nix_read_secret().

Even if I haven't found the root cause, this error makes a valid point as we cannot control how many times Nextcloud tries to load config.php in a single page load. This solution is more robust than the bare symbolic link.

Nextcloud will never load the config files twice per request, so I don't think this change makes sense. There must be something else going on.
Could you paste the whole logs, including the stacktrace? Then we might be able to debug it.

Nextcloud will never load the config files twice per request,

Yet it does, and even if it didn't, nowhere is it guaranteed nor does vanilla Nextcloud need to test for this.

Honestly, I'd rather hear a genuine issue with my PR than "the issue it addresses doesn't exist". What does NixOS lose by implementing this fix?
