As with many things, we have scenarios where we don't want to boot on a
disk / bootloader and also we don't want to boot directly.
Sometimes, we want to boot through an OptionROM of our NIC, e.g. netboot
scenarios or let the firmware decide something, e.g. UEFI PXE (or even
UEFI OptionROM!).
This is composed of:
- `directBoot.enable`: whether to direct boot or not
- `directBoot.initrd`: enable overriding the
`config.system.build.initialRamdisk` defaults, useful for
netbootRamdisk for example.
This makes it possible.
I'm merging this without review, since the tests run by ofborg are
succeeding. In addition to that, it's fixing a currently broken test so
the worst that could happen is that the test still does not work.
Since 816614bd62, the service is set to use the exim user so that
systemd takes care of the credentials ownership. The executable is
still required to run as root, to then drop privileges. The prefix '+'
that was used however interfers with the use of privilege restrictions
and other sandboxing options. Since we only want to escape the "User"
setting, we can use the '!' prefix instead.
The test fails because the way the configuration switch was implemented
back then was by using a dummy configuration and simply activating that
dummy configuration from within the test script.
Nowadays, this doesn't work anymore and fails to typecheck because the
dummy "newServer" will inherit the same value for networking.hostName,
which in turn will generate two attributes for "server":
> testScriptWithTypes:43: error: Name "server" already defined on line 43
> [no-redef]
> client1: Machine; client2: Machine; server: Machine; server: Machine;
Fortunately, we don't need to do workarounds like this anymore and there
is the "specialisation" option, which allows to do this in a less ugly
way (and it also works with mypy).

Support for gitlab-container-registry has been added in 014816cbe4.
However, when enabling the registry it will throw an error as it can't
find a `package` attribute.
This commit fixes the registry configuration by adding the missing
`registry` part.
