Previously we allocated subuids automatically for all normal users.
Make this explicitly configurable, so that one can use this for system
users too (or explicitly disable for normal users). Also don't allocate
automatically by default if a user already has ranges specified statically.
a few things should've used buildPackages/nativeBuildInputs to not not require
the host architecture for building docs. tested by building aarch64-linux docs
on x86_64-linux, and the result looks good.
this partially solves the problem of "missing description" warnings of the
options doc build being lost by nix build, at the cost of failing builds that
previously ran. an option to disable this behaviour is provided.
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
Other services such as minecraft-server and plex allow configuration of
the dataDir option, allowing the files stored by each service to be in a
custom location.

Previously, this was only implicitly enabled if xserver.enable = true.
However, Wayland-based desktops do not require this, and so configuring
SSH_ASKPASS on a Wayland desktop becomes cumbersome. This simplifies
that by adding a new option that defaults to the old conditional.
- Add the migrations directory to the package
- Add postgres support to the package
- Add a service for powerdns-admin
