See [0]: "QEMU_OPTS is something that should be set by people running VM
tests interactively, to do port forwardings etc.
We really should not poke with it from the test script - that's what
virtualisation.qemu.options is for."

See #119615 for more details. The aarch64-linux test failed with
"qemu-system-aarch64: Virtio VGA not available" so I've restricted the
test to x86_64-linux (the virtio paravirtualized 3D graphics driver is
likely only available on very few platforms).
The result still looks far from ideal but at least it gets recognized
now. "-fa Monospace" is required to switch to a font from the FreeType
library so that "-fs 24" works.
Note: Using linuxPackages_latest is not required anymore.
Add a cage module to nixos. This can be used to make kiosk-style
systems that boot directly to a single application. The user (demo by
default) is automatically logged in by this service and the
program (xterm by default) is automatically started.
This is useful for some embedded, single-user systems where we want
automatic booting. To keep the system secure, the user should have
limited privileges.
Based on the service provided in the Cage wiki here:
