This adds configuration options which automate the configuration of NVIDIA Optimus using PRIME. This allows using the NVIDIA proprietary driver on Optimus laptops, in order to render using the NVIDIA GPU while outputting to displays connected only to the integrated Intel GPU. It also adds an option for enabling kernel modesetting for the NVIDIA driver (via a kernel command line flag); this is particularly useful together with Optimus/PRIME because it fixes tearing on PRIME-connected screens.
The user still needs to enable the Optimus/PRIME feature and specify the bus IDs of the Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, but this is still much easier for users and more reliable. The implementation handles both the X configuration file as well as getting display managers to run certain necessary `xrandr` commands just after X has started.
Configuration of commands run after X startup is done using a new configuration option `services.xserver.displayManager.setupCommands`. Support for this option is implemented for LightDM, GDM and SDDM; all of these have been tested with this feature including logging into a Plasma session.
Note: support of `setupCommands` for GDM is implemented by making GDM run the session executable via a wrapper; the wrapper will run the `setupCommands` before execing. This seemed like the simplest and most reliable approach, and solves running these commands both for GDM's X server and user X servers (GDM starts separate X servers for itself and user sessions). An alternative approach would be with autostart files but that seems harder to set up and less reliable.
Note that some simple features for X configuration file generation (in `xserver.nix`) are added which are used in the implementation:
- `services.xserver.extraConfig`: Allows adding arbitrary new sections. This is used to add the Device section for the Intel GPU.
- `deviceSection` and `screenSection` within `services.xserver.drivers`. This allows the nvidia configuration module to add additional contents into the `Device` and `Screen` sections of the "nvidia" driver, and not into such sections for other drivers that may be enabled.
The previous description "string" is misleading in the full options
manual pages; they are actually concatenated strings, with a specific
character.
The empty string version ("types.string") has been special-cased to
provide a better message.

The package is no longer maintained and includes potential security
vulnerabilities (a use-after-free and several crashes) that are known
and not fixed in the version present in nixpkgs. They don't look too bad
judging from the trigger vectors mentioned in the changelog, but with
the project going unmaintained one of them becoming a security
vulnerability would likely not be noticed.

When a bridge interface was reconfigured, running containers using
this bridge lost connectivity: restarting network-addresses-brN.service
triggered a restart of network-setup.service via a "partOf" relationship
introduced in 07e0c0e0a2.
This in turn restarted brN-netdev.service.
The bridge was thus destroyed and recreated with the same name but a new
interface id, causing attached veth interfaces to lose their connection.
This change removes the "partOf" relationship between
network-setup.service and network-addresses-brN.service for all bridges.
