nixos/nix-daemon: fix registry flake type

Before this commit, the `flake` option was typed with `types.unspecified`.

This type get's merged via [`mergeDefaultOption`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/ebb592a04c5282f316d60cd4aba066f6e5d74b65/lib/options.nix#L119-L128), which has a line
```nix
else if all isFunction list then x: mergeDefaultOption loc (map (f: f x) list)
```

`lib.isFunction` detects an attrs in the shape of `{__functor = ...}` as
a function and hence this line substitutes such attrs with a function
(f: f x).

If now, a flake input has a `__functor` as it's output, this will
coerce the once attrs to a function. This breaks a lot of things later
in the stack, for example a later `lib.filterAttrs seive <LAMBDA>` will
fail for obious reasons.

According to @infinisil, `types.unspecified` is due to deprecation. In
the meantime this PR provides a specific fix for the specific problem
discovered.
