This serves as a regression test for #7859.
It's pretty straightforward, except from the fact that nixos-generate-
config doesn't detect LUKS devices and the "sleep 60".
As for the former, I have tried to add support for LUKS devices for
nixos-generate-config, but it's not so easy as it sounds, because we
need to create a device tree across all possible mappers and/or LVM up
to the "real" device and then decide whether it is relevant to what is
currently mounted. So I guess this is something for the nixpart branch
(see #2079).
And the latter isn't very trivial as well, because the LUKS passphrase
prompt is issued on /dev/console, which is the last "console=..." kernel
parameter (thus the `mkAfter`). So we can't simply grep the log, because
the prompt ends up being on one terminal only (tty0) and using select()
on $machine->{socket} doesn't work very well, because the FD is always
"ready for read". If we would read the FD, we would conflict with
$machine->connect and end up having an inconsistent state. Another idea
would be to use multithreading to do $machine->connect while feeding the
passphrase prompt in a loop and stop the thread once $machine->connect
is done. Turns out that this is not so easy as well, because the threads
need to share the $machine object and of course need to do properly
locking.
In the end I decided to use the "blindly hope that 60 seconds is enough"
approach for now and come up with a better solution later. Other VM
tests surely use sleep as well, but it's $machine->sleep, which is bound
to the clock of the VM, so if the build machine is on high load, a
$machine->sleep gets properly delayed but the timer outside the VM won't
get that delay, so the test is not deterministic.
Tested against the following revisions:
5e3fe39: Before the libgcrypt cleanup (a71f78a) that broke cryptsetup.
69a6848: While cryptsetup was broken (obviously the test failed).
15faa43: After cryptsetup has been switched to OpenSSL (fd588f9).

These commands will be executed directly after the machine is created,
so it gives us the chance to for example type in passphrases using the
virtual keyboard.

We're going to need it for installer tests where nixos-generate-config
isn't yet able to fully detect the filesystems/hardware. for example for
device mapper configurations other than LVM.

I'm increasing it to 100MB to make sure, any bootloader will fit with
all its stages. Of course, right now the reason why GRUB doesn't fit
into the partition is because of mdadm 3.3.2 and thus the initrd taking
all the space, but in order to avoid confusion on why the *boot* loader
fails in the VM tests, I've increased the size.

This patch should be reverted if either:
- systemd fixes the multi-swapon issue.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86930
- If we disable the autogeneration of swap and vfat units within
systemd.
This reverts commit 469f22d717, reversing
changes made to 0078bc5d8f.

I tried to keep apparently-safe code in conflicts.
Attempt to fix race condition in installer tests, especially the
grub1 test.
The latter was failing when running "parted /dev/sda ..." because
/dev/sda didn't exist yet.
The installer now asks the user to set a root password if stdin is a
tty, which doesn't work for an interactive test.

Hopefully fixes failures like:

This shouldn't be necessary, but it might be that the use of unionfs
is interfering with a clean shutdown.
You can now run a test in the nixos/tests directory directly using
nix-build, e.g.
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A test
This gets rid of having to add the test to nixos/tests/default.nix.
(Of course, you still need to add it to nixos/release.nix if you want
Hydra to run the test.)
