NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE env var not working #2196

Description

@eyevanovich

What happened?

When trying to pull in a NUR flake that is unfree I am unable to get Devbox to accept NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE. This is due to the fact that the --impure flag is not being included during nix print-dev-env when using devbox shell.

More context can be found in this discord thread

Steps to reproduce

  1. devbox init
  2. debox add github:goreleaser/nur/ec67c3ebe81bd5614190e3dd4600089859d5b179#goreleaser-pro
  3. NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 devbox shell

Command

shell

devbox.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetify-com/devbox/0.12.0/.schema/devbox.schema.json",
  "packages": [
    "go@1.22.5",

  ],
