The current workflow for starting the `linux-builder` on macOS is to run `nix run nixpkgs#darwin.linux-builder`, which adds keys to the store and then starts the builder. Adding the keys requires user input (due to `sudo`) but the actual builder should just stay running in the background somewhere. I'd like to automate this process, but it's currently rather complex: the first part of the script needs user input for `sudo`, and then there's no signal when the process has finished starting up. The user will need to see stdout/stderr during the first part, which makes it challenging to capture it for the second part to determine when startup has finished. To fix this, I've split the `create-builder` script into an `add-keys` script (interactive) and a `run-builder` script (background). These new scripts are exposed in the `passthru` attributes for external users. The `create-builder` script is now a simple call of `add-keys` and then `run-builder`.
