ATTN PARALLELS DEVS: IMPLEMENTED: NixOS support via Parallels Tools 16 under Linux kernel 5.9

[ylluminate]

Parallels developers, please add the following support to Parallels 16 via the following patch was created by Weijia Wang (wegank). Ticket:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/31882#issuecomment-753131827

Patch: https://github.com/wegank/nixos-config/tree/main/hardware/parallels-unfree

In addition, I suggest removing all hard-coded paths in binaries and shared objects bundled in Parallels Tools. Since NixOS is not FHS-compliant and all packages, including system executables, are stored in /nix/store/, hard-coded paths like /usr/bin/* will never work.

As a disclaimer, the Nix package uses GalaxyMaster's patch for kernel versions greater than 5.8.
