Adds a new option to the virtualisation modules that enables specifying
explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing
`virtualisation.vlans` is still supported for cases where the name of
the network interface is irrelevant.
`autosuspend` is a daemon that periodically runs user-defined checks to
verify whether the system should be suspended. It's already available
in nixpkgs. This adds a NixOS module which starts the daemon as a
systemd service.

following the plan in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/189318#discussion_r961764451
also adds an activation script to print the warning during activation
instead of during build, otherwise folks using the new CLI that hides
build logs by default might never see the warning.
This commit fixes a papercut in nixos-rebuild where people wanting to
switch to a specialisation (or test one) were forced to manually figure
out the specialisation's path and run its activation script - since now,
there's a dedicated option to do just that.
This is a backwards-compatible change which doesn't affect the existing
behavior, which - to be fair - might still be considered sus by some
people, the painful scenario here being:
- you boot into specialisation `foo`,
- you run `nixos-rebuild switch`,
- whoops, you're no longer at specialisation `foo`, but you're rather
brought back to the base system.
(it's especially painful for cases where specialisation is used to load
extra drivers, e.g. Nvidia, since then launching `nixos-rebuild switch`,
while forgetting that you're inside a specialisation, can cause some
parts of your system to get accidentally unloaded.)
I've tried to mitigate that by improving specialisations so that they
create a dedicated file somewhere in `/run/current-system` containing
the specialisation's name (which `nixos-rebuild` could then use as the
default value for `--specialisation`), but I haven't been able to come
up with anything working (plus it would be a breaking change then).

This is a followup of #148921, to allow local builds when
`--target-host` is used again. It also documents the change in
behavior, regarding the specialty of the `localhost` value.
By removing the special handling of an empty `buildHost` and non empty
`targetHost`, this change also slightly alters the behavior of
`nixos-rebuild`.
Originally by specifying `--target-host target --build-host ""`, the
now removed special case would transform those arguments to
`--target-host target --build-host target`.
Now the empty `--build-host` would result in a local build.
Added the RFC42-style added the posibility to use
`services.dokuwiki.sites.<name>.settings' instead of passing a plain
string to `<name>.extraConfig`. ´<name>.pluginsConfig` now also accepts
structured configuration.
