When resolving indirect flake references like `nixpkgs` in `flake.nix` files, Nix will no longer use the system and user flake registries. It will only use the global flake registry and overrides given on the command line via `--override-flake`.

The local registry would then only be used to resolve flake references in cli args? |

@elikoga Yes, that's right. |

Motivation
When resolving indirect flake references like
nixpkgsinflake.nixfiles, Nix will no longer use the system and user flake registries. It will only use the global flake registry and overrides given on the command line via--override-flake.This avoids accidents where users have local registry overrides that map
nixpkgsto apath:flake in the local file system, which then end up in committed lock files pushed to other users.Fixes #12010.
