This change does two things:
* "NixOSizes" environment variables generation. This allows some more
error-checking and opens possibilities for a modular environment
configuration. From now on the most of environment variables are
generated directly by the nix code. Generating sh code that
generates environment variables is left in a few places where
nontrivial access to a local environment state is needed.
* By doing the first change this patch untangles bash from the
environment configuration and makes it trivial to add a support for
other non bash-compatible shells.
Now to the sad part. This change is quite large (and I'm not sure it's
possible to split it) and yet is not quite complete, it needs some
changes to nixpkgs to be perfect.
See !!! comments in modules/config/shells-environment.nix.
Main principle behind this change is "change environment generation
and nothing else". In particular, shell configuration principles stay
exactly the same as before.
This makes it so multiple definitions are merged by adding a newline
between each entry, to avoid the need to add a newline to the end of
every definition of extraModprobeConfig. See #119 for an example of an
issue this has caused.

* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod. (Not
that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store. But at least
commands like "depmod -n" work now.) Reported by Kirill Elagin on
IRC.

It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
firmware. Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.

modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

the current configuration don't match the running kernel. This
ensures that modprobe still works after a "nixos-rebuild switch" to
a configuration that has a different kernel version.
