The pull request that added dhparams (#39507) was made at the time where
the dhparams module overhaul (#39526) wasn't done yet, so it's still
using the old mechanics of the module.
As stated in the release notes:
Module implementers should not set a specific bit size in order to let
users configure it by themselves if they want to have a different bit
size than the default (2048).
An example usage of this would be:
{ config, ... }:
{
security.dhparams.params.myservice = {};
environment.etc."myservice.conf".text = ''
dhparams = ${config.security.dhparams.params.myservice.path}
'';
}

Regression introduced by d4468bedb5.
No systemd messages are shown anymore during VM test runs, which is not
very helpful if you want to find out about failures.
There is a bit of a conflict between testing and the change that
introduced the regression. While the mentioned commit makes sure that
the primary console is tty0 for virtualisation.graphics = false, our VM
tests need to have the serial console as primary console.
So in order to support both, I added a new virtualisation.qemu.consoles
option, which allows to specify those options using the module system.
The default of this option is to use the changes that were introduced
and in test-instrumentation.nix we use only the serial console the same
way as before.
For test-instrumentation.nix I didn't add a baudrate to the serial
console because I can't find a reason on top of my head why it should
need it. There also wasn't a reason stated when that was introduced in
7499e4a5b9.

Tracking scripts in particular, cannot be included in extraOpts, because script declaration has to be above script usage in keepalived.conf.
Changes are fully backward compatible.
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.
Always enable both tty and serial console, but set preferred console
depending on cfg.graphical.
Even in qemu graphical mode, you can switch to the serial console via
Ctrl+Alt+3.
With that being done, you also don't need to specify
`systemd.services."serial-getty@ttyS0".enable = true;` either as described in
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Cheatsheet#Building_a_service_as_a_VM_.28for_testing.29,
as systemd automatically spawns a getty on consoles passwd via cmdline.
This also means, vms built by 'nixos-rebuild build-vm' can simply be run
properly in nographic mode by appending `-nographic` to `result/bin/run-*-vm`,
without the need to explicitly add platform-specific QEMU_KERNEL_PARAMS.
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.

This allows to set the default bit size for all the Diffie-Hellman
parameters defined in security.dhparams.params and it's particularly
useful so that we can set it to a very low value in tests (so it doesn't
take ages to generate).
Regardless for the use in testing, this also has an impact in production
systems if the owner wants to set all of them to a different size than
2048, they don't need to set it individually for every params that are
set.
I've added a subtest to the "dhparams" NixOS test to ensure this is
working properly.

When trying to run NSD to serve the root zone, one gets the following
error message:
error: illegal name: '.'
This is because the name of the zone is used as the derivation name for
building the zone file. However, Nix doesn't allow derivation names
starting with a period.
So whenever the zone is "." now, the file name generated is "root"
instead of ".".
I also added an assertion that makes sure the user sets
services.nsd.rootServer, otherwise NSD will fail at runtime because it
prevents serving the root zone without an explicit compile-time option.
Tested this by adding a root zone to the "nsd" NixOS VM test.

I ended up with a corrupted image with the debugfs contraption once, and
given I couldn't reproduce the problem I suppose that happens if the
filesystem of the builder runs out of space.
At least in this instance fsck could detect it, so let's add it as a
sanity check.
lib.optional returns a singleton or an empty list. Therefore the
argument does not need to be wrapped in a list.
An alternative patch could have used lib.optionals but seems like no
more elements are going to be added to the optional list.
This is apparent from the service file directory in plymouth:
├── multi-user.target.wants
│ ├── plymouth-quit.service -> ../plymouth-quit.service
│ └── plymouth-quit-wait.service -> ../plymouth-quit-wait.service
Leaving it unspecified caused gdm-wayland to crash on boot, see #39615.
The change made other display managers not quit plymouth properly however. By
removing "multi-user.target" from `plymouth-quit.after` this is resolved.
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`

Some time ago I fixed the broken package `osquery` (see #39336).
I had to test the package manually by starting the daemon locally,
however this doesn't ensure that the module is still functional.
In order to cover the package *and* the integration with the NixOS
module I thought that adding a testcase might be the best idea.
The current testcase does the following things:
* Starts an `osqueryd` service in a test machine with customized logger
path and PID file
* Ensures that the `osqueryd.service` unit is running
* Checks if the customized flags (`pidfile`, `logger_path`) are applied
to `osquery`.
* Performs a simple test query against the `etc_hosts` database to check
if the basic funcitonality of `osquery` (storing system information into
a database) works fine.

While he suggests is 3072 I'm using 2048 now, because it's the default
of "openssl dhparam". If users want to have a higher value, they can
still change it.

The ability to specify "-drive if=scsi" has been removed in QEMU version
2.12 (introduced in 3e3b39f173).
Quote from https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.12#Incompatible_changes:
> The deprecated way of configuring SCSI devices with "-drive if=scsi"
> on x86 has been removed. Use an appropriate SCSI controller together
> "-device scsi-hd" or "-device scsi-cd" and a corresponding "-blockdev"
> parameter instead.
So whenever the diskInterface is "scsi" we use the new way to specify
the drive and fall back to the deprecated way for the time being. The
reason why I'm not using the new way for "virtio" and "ide" as well is
because there is no simple generic way anymore to specify these.
This also turns the type of the virtualisation.qemu.diskInterface option
to be an enum, so the user knows which values are allowed but we can
also make sure the right value is provided to prevent typos.
I've tested this against a few non-disk-related NixOS VM tests but also
the installer.grub1 test (because it uses "ide" as its drive interface),
the installer.simple test (just to be sure it still works with
"virtio") and all the tests in nixos/tests/boot.nix.
In order to be able to run the grub1 test I had to go back to
8b1cf100cd (which is a known commit where
that test still works) and apply the QEMU update and this very commit,
because right now the test is broken.
Apart from the tests here in nixpkgs, I also ran another[1] test in
another repository which uses the "scsi" disk interface as well (in
comparison to most of the installer tests, this one actually failed
prior to this commit).
All of them now succeed.

I'm not sure why 024b501907 used -q 0
because even netcat-openbsd has the -N flag which IMO is the better way
to shutdown the socket on EOF.
Our default netcat implementation has changed once again[1] in
3c3b82234a and we're now using LibreSSL's
implementation, which doesn't have a -q flag.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39634 for the pull request
introducing the switch.

Previously the script would contain an empty `if` block (which is invalid
syntax) if both `data.activationDelay == null` and `data.postRun == ""`. Fix
this by adding a no-op `true`.
The Nix expression here is really hard to read with multiple (and
unnecessarily) nested lets and it also generates attribute names based
on the derivation generated by makeTest, which will result in these
attribute names:
* vm-test-run-predictableInterfaceNames
* vm-test-run-predictableInterfaceNames-with-networkd
* vm-test-run-unpredictableInterfaceNames
* vm-test-run-unpredictableInterfaceNames-with-networkd
With the refactor the attribute names are now:
* predictable
* predictableNetworkd
* unpredictable
* unpredictableNetworkd
So now the code is even shorter and IMHO slightly more readable.

This is a very very very ugly workaround and it's because Chromium seems
to eat keystroke for a few seconds after a new window is created.
I haven't found a better solution yet, so let's at least unbreak the
test until we come up with a better way.
Thanks to @vcunat for bringing this to my attention and also doing the
initial bisect.
The change that brought up this problem was 2b29e40153,
which updated Chromium from version 65.0.3325.181 to version
66.0.3359.117. Unfortunately the upstream changelog[1] is way too large
to actually guess what the breaking change is.

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`.
