Conform to RFC 1123 [0], specifically to "2.1 Host Names and Numbers",
which allow starting host name with alphanumerical instead of alphabetical characters.
RFC 1123 updates RFC 952 [1], which is referenced in "man 5 hosts".

Both packages will get EOLed within the lifetime of 20.09. `nextcloud17`
can be removed entirely (the attribute-path is kept however to provide
meaningful errors), however `nextcloud18` must be kept as `insecure` to
make sure that users from `nextcloud17` can properly upgrade to
`nextcloud19` on NixOS 20.09.
Now allows applying external overlays either in form of
.dts file, literal dts context added to store or precompiled .dtbo.
If overlays are defined, kernel device-trees are compiled with '-@'
so the .dtb files contain symbols which we can reference in our
overlays.
Since `fdtoverlay` doesn't respect `/ compatible` by itself
we query compatible strings of both `dtb` and `dtbo(verlay)`
and apply only if latter is substring of the former.
Also adds support for filtering .dtb files (as there are now nearly 1k
dtbs).

Right now the UX for installing NixOS on a headless system is very bad.
To enable sshd without physical steps users have to have either physical
access or need to be very knowledge-able to figure out how to modify the
installation image by hand to put an `sshd.service` symlink in the
right directory in /nix/store. This is in particular a problem on ARM
SBCs (single board computer) but also other hardware where network is
the only meaningful way to access the hardware.
This commit enables sshd by default. This does not give anyone access to
the NixOS installer since by default. There is no user with a non-empty
password or key. It makes it easy however to add ssh keys to the
installation image (usb stick, sd-card on arm boards) by simply mounting
it and adding a keys to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`.
Importantly this should not require nix/nixos on the machine that
prepare the installation device and even feasiable on non-linux systems
by using ext4 third party drivers.
Potential new threats: Since this enables sshd by default a
potential bug in openssh could lead to remote code execution. Openssh
has a very good track-record over the last 20 years, which makes it
far more likely that Linux itself would have a remote code execution
vulnerability. It is trusted by millions of servers on many operating
systems to be exposed to the internet by default.

readd perl (used in shell scripts), rsync (needed for NixOps) and strace (common debugging tool)
they where previously removed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91213

This goes through a recent example of 19.09 (because the workflow
should be everchanging, so our example needs to be recent).
Lots of changes, just read idk.
