This was a testing oversight that came from #61009 -- I forgot to test
the new traceFormat option with older server versions while I was
working on FDB 6.1.
Since trace_format is only available in 6.1+, emitting it
unconditionally caused older versions of the database fail to start,
reporting an error. We simply gate it behind a version check instead,
and assert the format is always XML on older versions. This avoids the
case where the user has an old version, changes traceFormat willingly,
and then is confused by why it didn't work.

The default, which is /tmp, has a few issues associated with it:
One being that it makes it easy for users on the system to spoof a
PostgreSQL server if it's not running, causing applications to connect
to their provided sockets instead of just failing to connect.
Another one is that it makes sandboxing of PostgreSQL and other services
unnecessarily difficult. This is already the case if only PrivateTmp is
used in a systemd service, so in order for such a service to be able to
connect to PostgreSQL, a bind mount needs to be done from /tmp to some
other path, so the service can access it. This pretty much defeats the
whole purpose of PrivateTmp.
We regularily run into issues with this in the past already (one example
would be https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/24317) and with the new
systemd-confinement mode upcoming in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/57519, it makes it even more
tedious to sandbox services.
I've tested this change against all the postgresql NixOS VM tests and
they still succeed and I also grepped through the source tree to replace
other occasions where we might have /tmp hardcoded. Luckily there were
very few occasions.

The default galera_new_cluster script tries to set this environment
variable using systemctl set-environment which doesn't work if the
variable is not being used in the unit file ;)
Although the package itself builds fine, the module fails because it
tries to log into a non-existant file in `/var/log` which breaks the
service. Patching to default config to log to stdout by default fixes
the issue. Additionally this is the better solution as NixOS heavily
relies on systemd (and thus journald) for logging.
Also, the runtime relies on `/etc/localtime` to start, as it's not
required by the module system we set UTC as sensitive default when using
the module.
To ensure that the service's basic functionality is available, a simple
NixOS test has been added.
As cassandra start script hardcodes the location of logback
configuration to `CASSANDRA_CONF_DIR/logback.xml` there is no way to
pass an alternate file via `$JVM_OPTS` for example.
Also, without logback configuration DEBUG level is used which is not
necessary for standard usage.
With this commit a default logback configuration is set with log level
INFO.
Configuration borrowed from:
https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/configuration/configLoggingLevels.html
This cleans up the CockroachDB expression, with a few suggestions from
@aszlig.
However, it brought up the note of using systemd's StateDirectory=
directive, which is a nice feature for managing long-term data files,
especially for UID/GID assigned services. However, it can only manage
directories under /var/lib (for global services), so it has to introduce
a special path to make use of it at all in the case someone wants a path
at a different root.
While the dataDir directive at the NixOS level is _occasionally_ useful,
I've gone ahead and removed it for now, as this expression is so new,
and it makes the expression cleaner, while other kinks can be worked out
and people can test drive it.
CockroachDB's dataDir directive, instead, has been replaced with
systemd's StateDirectory management to place the data under
/var/lib/cockroachdb for all uses.
There's an included RequiresMountsFor= clause like usual though, so if
people want dependencies for any kind of mounted device at boot
time/before database startup, it's easy to specify using their own
mount/filesystems clause.
This can also be reverted if necessary, but, we can see if anyone ever
actually wants that later on before doing it -- it's a backwards
compatible change, anyway.

This also includes a full end-to-end CockroachDB clustering test to
ensure everything basically works. However, this test is not currently
enabled by default, though it can be run manually. See the included
comments in the test for more information.
Closes #51306. Closes #38665.

This allows, finally, proper detection when postgresql is ready to
accept connections. Until now, it was possible that services depending
on postgresql would fail in a race condition trying to connect
to postgresql.
While this seems silly at first (it's already given as start parameter
to mysqld), it seems like xtrabackup needs that sometimes.
Without it, a Galera cluster cannot be run using the xtrabackup
replication method.
