restrict-eval is set to true by default

[eureka-cpu]

Describe the bug

The documentation states that restrict-eval in nix.conf is set to false by default: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/292448195/download/1/manual/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-restrict-eval, however, I'm running into errors that should only happen if restrict-eval is true. The configuration does not have restrict-eval set at all...

Steps To Reproduce

1. create a flake configuration
2. do not set nix.settings.restrict-eval
3. add an input like github:<something>

Expected behavior

Expected not to see errors about restricted eval mode.

Metadata

nix-env (Nix) 2.24.11

Additional context

Up until this point, the same configuration worked fine, but we bumped to unstable and now restrict-eval is throwing errors even though it is unset. We were able to get past this by adding github: gitlab: to allowed-uris, though I'd assume that setting restrict-eval = false would also work. EDIT: restrict-eval = lib.mkForce false; does not fix it, somehow hydra-eval-jobs is still running in restricted mode.

May also be important to note this is on hydra machines.

Relevant breadcrumbs:

• Hydra eval error #12418
• flake: lib.nixpkgs.mkPkgs nixpkgs#345459
• Remove restricted eval mode #1701
• Allow all locked flake inputs in restricted eval mode #5039 (comment)

[eureka-cpu]

So this is actually just the intended behavior when using hydra with flakes:

• https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Hydra#Restricted_Mode
• Flake inputs with 'git+https' hydra#1183 (comment)
• hydra-eval-jobs: don't use restrict-eval for Flakes hydra#1257

The only solution here is to add prefixes/URIs to allowed-uris.
