* improve nix installation instructions
in the command
$ bash <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
<(..) is a bashism. The documentation now show a command that does
not require to be executed by bash.
The manual still had a reference to an option that was already renamed
ages ago and a7ed44ccad made it 'visible'.
With the visible attribute set to false for extraKernelModules, the
option no longer appears in the manual and thus breaks the link from the
manual to the options.
This is easily fixed by referring to boot.initrd.kernelModules instead
of the obsolete option boot.initrd.extraKernelModules.

This introduces an option that allows us to turn off stateful generation
of Diffie-Hellman parameters, which in some way is still "stateful" as
the generated DH params file is non-deterministic.
However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for
failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is
done during build-time.
Aside from adding a NixOS VM test it also restructures the type of the
security.dhparams.params option, so that it's a submodule.
A new defaultBitSize option is also there to allow users to set a
system-wide default.
I added a release notes entry that described what has changed and also
included a few notes for module developers using this module, as the
first usage already popped up in NixOS/nixpkgs#39507.
Thanks to @Ekleog and @abbradar for reviewing.
This is not only to make users aware of the changes but also to give a
heads up to developers which are using the module. Specifically if they
rely on security.dhparams.path only.

The following changes have been applied:
- the property `http.headers.X-Content-Type-Options` must a list of
strings rather than a serialized list
- instead of `/etc/docker/registry/config.yml` the configuration will be
written with `pkgs.writeText` and the store path will be used to run
the registry. This reduces the risk of possible impurities by relying
on the Nix store only.
- cleaned up the property paths to easy readability and reduce the
verbosity.
- enhanced the testcase to ensure that digests can be deleted as well
- the `services.docker-registry.extraConfig` object will be merged with
`registryConfig`

As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745
the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to
`nixos/version` which implicates the following changes:
* `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release`
* `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix`
* `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version`
As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`,
`NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause
a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with
a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
- mkfs.fat needs `-n` to set a partition label, not `-L`.
- create /mnt/boot before mounting
- leave out detailed LVM example as advanced users already how to create
LVs while it is detracting for novices.
Re #38674
The `clementine` package is actually released under Apache license, but
requires the unfree `libspotify` package to build.
Now `nixpkgs.clementine` points to the free derivation and
`nixpkgs.clementineUnfree` has been introduced for the package bundled
with spotify support.
Fixes #38315
- `localSystem` is added, it strictly supercedes system
- `crossSystem`'s description mentions `localSystem` (and vice versa).
- No more weird special casing I don't even understand
TEMP
- Rectifies diverging CSS by combining
nixos/nixpkgs docs CSS
- Moves our custom Highlight.js loader in to
the hljs package
- Switches the nixos docs to use SVG
callouts too
