common: cap nix-daemon CPUWeight at 50 to keep services responsive

Browse source 
Heavy local builds (gnupg/openldap checkPhase under a freshly-bumped
nixpkgs lock) were saturating CPU and starving AdGuard on the
mediaserver, making DNS effectively unresponsive until the build
finished or got cancelled.

Halving the daemon's CPU share leaves headroom for latency-sensitive
services without meaningfully slowing builds on an otherwise idle box.
