This change does two things:
* "NixOSizes" environment variables generation. This allows some more
error-checking and opens possibilities for a modular environment
configuration. From now on the most of environment variables are
generated directly by the nix code. Generating sh code that
generates environment variables is left in a few places where
nontrivial access to a local environment state is needed.
* By doing the first change this patch untangles bash from the
environment configuration and makes it trivial to add a support for
other non bash-compatible shells.
Now to the sad part. This change is quite large (and I'm not sure it's
possible to split it) and yet is not quite complete, it needs some
changes to nixpkgs to be perfect.
See !!! comments in modules/config/shells-environment.nix.
Main principle behind this change is "change environment generation
and nothing else". In particular, shell configuration principles stay
exactly the same as before.
This reduces code duplication, but more importantly means that the
DRI modules can be found by X enabling hardware acceleration.
Close #249; the PR also refers to more about DRI modules.
I.e., modules that use "require = [options]". Nowadays that should be
written as
{
options = { ... };
config = { ... };
};
Also, use "imports" instead of "require" in places where we actually
import another module.
With this it's now possible to directly embed a configuration file
using `services.xserver.windowManager.i3.configFile = path`, which then
will be used instead of the one in the users home directory.

- drop custom config:
(please wacom using folks review this part and think
about how to get it back if its important to you)
- put default config shipping with xf86_input_wacom
into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
which seems to be interpreted again when
devices are hot plugged
- when starting x11, also provide xinput
.. you never know when you need it
This fixes all problems I had:
- device only worked when plugged in, then xorg was started
(an alternative quick fix is switching to terminal by ctrl-alt-F1 and back)
- I had to disable some devices, because eg myaint switched input
device many times a sec rendering it unusable otherwise, some of those devices
configured did not work.

We don't need to set $TZ, because we have /etc/localtime. In fact,
setting $TZ without $TZDIR doesn't work anymore since Glibc no longer
contains zone info.
desktop-manager is a bit misleading in this case as there is no
session yet and most apps are still missing. This can eventually
grow further once more e17 apps get packaged for nix.
However, for now, I need to initialize some e17 dbus services to
have the "terminology" terminal emulator provide gfx previews.
Enabling udisks2 allows gvfs (which should be built with udisks support) to
perform mount/unmount operations on removable drives. It affects Thunar and
probably other Gtk-based file managers.
Gvfs doesn't supports earlier versions of udisks.

Adds "vmware" to list of default options of
services.xerver.videoDrivers.
new default:
[ "ati" "cirrus" "intel" "vesa" "vmware" ]
old default:
[ "ati" "cirrus" "intel" "vesa" ]
