fix 'hardened' profile for NixOS 20.09

The 'scudo' memory allocator set by the 'hardened' profile breaks some
services on 20.09.
The fix for NixOS unstable (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/104052)
is ineffective on 20.09.

As a workaround, add a custom 'hardened' preset that uses the default allocator.
