Compatibility with other distributions/software and expectation
of users coming from other systems should have higher priority over consistency.
In particular this fixes#51375, where the NetworkManager-wait-online.service
broke as a result of this.
This is a backwards-incompatible change and while it won't probably
affect a whole lot of users, it makes sense to give them a heads-up
anyway.

The function `addCheck` resides within the attrset `types`. We should be
explicit about this since otherwise people might be confused where it
does come from / why it doesn't work for them.
The explicit remove helped to uncover some hidden uses of `optionSet`
in NixOps. However it makes life harder for end-users of NixOps - it will
be impossible to deploy 19.03 systems with old NixOps, but there is no
new release of NixOps with `optionSet` fixes.
Also, "deprecation" process isn't well defined. Even that `optionSet` was
declared "deprecated" for many years, it was never announced. Hence, I
leave "deprecation" announce. Then, 3 releases after announce,
we can announce removal of this feature.
This type has to be removed, not `throw`-ed in runtime, because it makes
some perfectly fine code to fail. For example:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs/lib>).types' --strict
trace: `types.list` is deprecated; use `types.listOf` instead
error: types.optionSet is deprecated; use types.submodule instead
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```
Before this change `man 5 configuration.nix` would only show options of modules in
the `baseModules` set, which consists only of the list of modules in
`nixos/modules/module-list.nix`
With this change applied and `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` option enabled
all modules included in `configuration.nix` file will be used instead.
This makes configurations with custom modules self-documenting. It also means
that importing non-`baseModules` modules like `gce.nix` or `azure.nix`
will make their documentation available in `man 5 configuration.nix`.
`documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` is currently set to `false` by
default as enabling it usually uncovers bugs and prevents evaluation.
It should be set to `true` in a release or two.
This was originally implemented in #47177, edited for more configurability,
documented and rebased onto master by @oxij.
system-sendmail allows all sendmail's to be auto-detected, including on
non-NixOS systems. This is, to me, a better UX than having to manually
override the sendmailPath argument.
In exchange, it is a breach of retro-compatibility. Given right now I
can't see any uses for sendmailPath other than what is supported by
system-sendmail, I didn't keep it, but it'd be possible to allow
sendmailPath to override the choice of sendmail from system-sendmail.

Also simplified the argument parsing to write all currently supported
CLI options into a bash array and pass this to `nix-build`.
Also documented `--option` usage in the corresponding manpage.
The motivation for this is that some applications are unaware
of this feature and can set their volume to 100% on startup
harming people ears and possiblly blowing someone's audio
setup.
I noticed this in #54594 and by extension epiphany[0].
Please also note that many other distros have this default for
the reason outlined above.

- add `zramSwap.algorithm` option, which allows to change compressor
declaratively. zstd as default
- add `zramSwap.swapDevices` option, which allows to define how many zram
devices will be used as swap. Rest devices can be managed freely
- simpler floating calculations
- fix udev race condition
- some documentation changes
- replaced `/sys/block/zram*` handling with `zramctl`, because I had occasional
"Device is busy" error (looks like zram has to be configured in predefined order)
- added `memoryPercent` and `algorithm` as restart triggers. I think, it was
a bug that changing `memoryPercent` in configuration wasn't applied immediately.
- removed a bind to .swap device. While it looks natural (when swap device goes
off, so should zram device), it wasn't implemented properly. This caused problems
with swapon/swapoff:
```
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/zram0 partition 8166024 0 -2
/var/swapfile file 5119996 5120 1
$ sudo swapoff -a
$ sudo swapon -a
swapon: /dev/zram0: read swap header failed
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/var/swapfile file 5119996 0 1
```
Since nix 2.0 the no-build-hook option was replaced by the builders options
that allows to override remote builders ad-hoc.
Since it is useful to disable remote builders updating nixos without network,
this commit reintroduces the option.
This adds a NixOS option for setting the CPU max and min frequencies
with `cpufreq`. The two options that have been added are:
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.max`
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.min`
It also adds an alias to the `powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor` option as
`powerManagement.cpufreq.governor`. This updates the installer to use
the new option name. It also updates the manual with a note about
the new name.
Having pam_unix set to "sufficient" means early-succeeding account
management group, as soon as pam_unix.so is succeeding.
This is not sufficient. For example, nixos modules might install nss
modules for user lookup, so pam_unix.so succeeds, and we end the stack
successfully, even though other pam account modules might want to do
more extensive checks.
Other distros seem to set pam_unix.so to 'required', so if there are
other pam modules in that management group, they get a chance to do some
validation too.
For SSSD, @PsyanticY already added a workaround knob in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31969, while stating this should
be the default anyway.
I did some thinking in what could break - after this commit, we require
pam_unix to succeed, means we require `getent passwd $username` to
return something.
This is the case for all local users due to the passwd nss module, and
also the case for all modules installing their nss module to
nsswitch.conf - true for ldap (if not explicitly disabled) and sssd.
I'm not so sure about krb5, cc @eqyiel for opinions. Is there some nss
module loaded? Should the pam account module be placed before pam_unix?
We don't drop the `security.pam.services.<name?>.sssdStrictAccess`
option, as it's also used some lines below to tweak error behaviour
inside the pam sssd module itself (by changing it's 'control' field).
This is also required to get admin login for Google OS Login working
(#51566), as their pam_oslogin_admin accounts module takes care of sudo
configuration.
pkgs.owncloud still pointed to owncloud 7.0.15 (from May 13 2016)
Last owncloud server update in nixpkgs was in Jun 2016.
At the same time Nextcloud forked away from it, indicating users
switched over to that.

This fixes some quirks I introduced in previous commits.
1. No need for an extra newline when printing the output of shell commands.
2. 'or die' is what's already used in the NixOS test sources, while
'die unless' has no occurrences.
