Previously all card-specific stuff was scattered across xserver.nix
and opengl.nix, which is ugly. Now it can be kept together in a single
card-specific module. This required the addition of a few internal
options:
- services.xserver.drivers: A list of { name, driverName, modules,
libPath } sets.
- hardware.opengl.package: The OpenGL implementation. Note that there
can be only one OpenGL implementation at a time in a system
configuration (i.e. no dynamic detection).
- hardware.opengl.package32: The 32-bit OpenGL implementation.
Fixes #2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.
The Tarsnap module is now far more flexible, allowing individual
archives with individual options to be specified at will, allowing
granular backup schedules, etc.

This fixes several problems in the dhcpcd service:
* A segfault during startup, due to a race with udev (dhcpcd would get
an ADD event from udev, causing it to re-add an interface that it
already had, leading to a segfault later on).
* A hang/segfault processing "dhcpcd rebind" (which NixOS calls after
waking up from suspend).
Also, add "lo" to the list of ignored interfaces. It usually ignores
"lo", but apparently not when it gets an ADD event from udev.
By enabling ‘services.openssh.startWhenNeeded’, sshd is started
on-demand by systemd using socket activation. This is particularly
useful if you have a zillion containers and don't want to have sshd
running permanently. Note that socket activation is not noticeable
slower, contrary to what the manpage for ‘sshd -i’ says, so we might
want to make this the default one day.
This causes OpenVPN services to reach the "active" state when the VPN
connection is up (i.e., after OpenVPN prints "Initialization Sequence
Completed"). This allows units to be ordered correctly after openvpn-*
units, and makes systemctl present a password prompt:
$ start openvpn-foo
Enter Private Key Password: *************
(I first tried to implement this by calling "systemd-notify --ready"
from the "up" script, but systemd-notify is not reliable.)
The ability for unprivileged users to mount external media is useful
regardless of the desktop environment. Also, since udisks2 is
activated on-demand, it doesn't add any overhead if you're not using it.
This led to the container test failing, which made no sense
whatsoever, until I realized nix-daemon.socket creates the socket
directory as a side effect, which systemd-nspawn then bind-mounts.

This has some advantages:
* You get ssh-agent regardless of how you logged in. Previously it was
only started for X11 sessions.
* All sessions of a user share the same agent. So if you added a key
on tty1, it will also be available on tty2.
* Systemd will restart ssh-agent if it dies.
* $SSH_AUTH_SOCK now points to the /run/user/<uid> directory, which is
more secure than /tmp.
For bonus points, we should patch ssh-agent to support socket-based
activation...
If you define a unit, and either systemd or a package in
systemd.packages already provides that unit, then we now generate a
file /etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/overrides.conf. This makes it
possible to use upstream units, while allowing them to be customised
from the NixOS configuration. For instance, the module nix-daemon.nix
now uses the units provided by the Nix package. And all unit
definitions that duplicated upstream systemd units are finally gone.
This makes the baseUnit option unnecessary, so I've removed it.
