nixos/nginx: use Mozilla Intermediate TLS configuration

The configuration at https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=nginx&config=intermediate
is reliably kept up-to-date in terms of security and compatible with a
wide range of clients. They've probably had more care and thought put
into them than our defaults, and will be easier to keep updated in
the future.

The only removed (rather than changed) configuration option here is
ssl_ecdh_curve, per https://github.com/mozilla/server-side-tls/issues/189.

Resolves #80952.
