After recent change `services.smokeping.enable = true;` system
started failing the build as:
```
nixpkgs-master $ nix build --no-link -f nixos system --keep-going
...
Checking that Nix store paths of all wrapped programs exist... FAIL
The path /nix/store/kr2sr80g9ny74im6m6dyh9v44hnzm261-fping-5.0/bin/fping6 does not exist!
Please, check the value of `security.wrappers."fping6".source`.
```
`fping` does not provide `fping6` binary for a while. Let's just remove it.

Just setting the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT should be enough, so we don't need to
rebuild the xserver, xkbcomp and other packages anymore.
However, the variable has to be passed explicitely to scripts running at
build time: in particular to xkbvalidate and xkb-console-keymap.
Other services that depend on elasticsearch should be started after
it, but since the versions we're packaging have to run as
"Type=simple", they're started as soon as the elasticsearch binary has
been executed, likely winning the race against it.
This makes sure elasticsearch is up and running, responding to a
simple query, before dependents are started.
This updates systemd to version v249.4 from version v247.6.
Besides the many new features that can be found in the upstream
repository they also introduced a bunch of cleanup which ended up
requiring a few more patches on our side.
a) 0022-core-Handle-lookup-paths-being-symlinks.patch:
The way symlinked units were handled was changed in such that the last
name of a unit file within one of the unit directories
(/run/systemd/system, /etc/systemd/system, ...) is used as the name
for the unit. Unfortunately that code didn't take into account that
the unit directories themselves could already be symlinks and thus
caused all our units to be recognized slightly different.
There is an upstream PR for this new patch:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20479
b) The way the APIVFS is setup has been changed in such a way that we
now always have /run. This required a few changes to the
confinement tests which did assert that they didn't exist. Instead of
adding another patch we can just adopt the upstream behavior. An
empty /run doesn't seem harmful.
As part of this work I refactored the confinement test just a little
bit to allow better debugging of test failures. Previously it would
just fail at some point and it wasn't obvious which of the many
commands failed or what the unexpected string was. This should now be
more obvious.
c) Again related to the confinement tests the way a file was tested for
being accessible was optimized. Previously systemd would in some
situations open a file twice during that check. This was reduced to
one operation but required the procfs to be mounted in a units
namespace.
An upstream bug was filed and fixed. We are now carrying the
essential patch to fix that issue until it is backported to a new
release (likely only version 250). The good part about this story is
that upstream systemd now has a test case that looks very similar to
one of our confinement tests. Hopefully that will lead to less
friction in the long run.

d) Previously we could grep for dlopen( somewhat reliably but now
upstream started using a wrapper around dlopen that is most of the
time used with linebreaks. This makes using grep not ergonomic
anymore.
With this bump we are grepping for anything that looks like a
dynamic library name (in contrast to a dlopen(3) call) and replace
those instead. That seems more robust. Time will tell if this holds.
I tried using coccinelle to patch all those call sites using its
tooling but unfornately it does stumble upon the _cleanup_
annotations that are very common in the systemd code.
e) We now have some machinery for libbpf support in our systemd build.
That being said it doesn't actually work as generating some skeletons
doesn't work just yet. It fails with the below error message and is
disabled by default (in both minimal and the regular build).

f) We do now have support for TPM2 based disk encryption in our
systemd build. The actual bits and pieces to make use of that are
missing but there are various ongoing efforts in that direction.
There is also the story about systemd in our initrd to enable this
being used for root volumes. None of this will yet work out of the
box but we can start improving on that front.
g) FIDO2 support was added systemd and consequently we can now use
that. Just with TPM2 there hasn't been any integration work with
NixOS and instead this just adds that capability to work on that.

I noticed this minor grammar mistake when running update.nix, and then
while grepping to find the source I noticed we had it a few times in
Nixpkgs. Just as easy to fix treewide as it was to fix the one
occurrence I noticed.
Adds the ability to provide the --write flag in addition to the --serve flag via
a new option, services.sshServe.write.
A user can now share their system as a remote builder with friends easily as
follows:
{
nix = {
sshServe = {
enable = true;
write = true;
keys = ["ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1k... alice@example.org"];
};
};
}

The hashes are equivalent, so it's not a real conflict.

I can't see a solution, deffered redoing this to the later PR:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/136849
Matrix homeservers have two important domains. The user-visible server_name and the homeserver domain which serves most of the traffic but is really seen by users. The docs around this variable said "This is used by remote servers to connect to this server" which is very confusing because most of the remote server traffic actually goes the server domain, not the server_name domain. (The server_name domain is only used to fetch the .well-known file that points at the server domain).
I largely copied the wording from https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.html as I found it much more clear.
