Rename channel `nixpkgs` to `nixpkgs-unstable`. Based on the
[repo branches](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/branches)
and [channel status](https://status.nixos.org) I don't believe there is
a `nixpkgs` channel. This confused me as a Nixpkgs beginner.
Rename to `nixpkgs-unstable`, which does exist.
Refer to "nixpkgs repository" consitently. Make the capitalization and
"code quoting" consistent when referring to the repository itself.
The aarch64 musl bootstrap tools are woefully outdated. Just getting
them to the point of being able to build new versions of themselves
required a number of hacks[1] that can be reverted once we have new
bootstrap tools, and before that it stdenv didn't even build for the
preceding three years.
[1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/169764
So, following the script established by previous bootstrap tools
updates:
Files came from this Hydra build:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/246470544
…which used nixpkgs revision dd5621df6d
to instantiate:
/nix/store/g480ass2vjmakaq03z7k2j95xnxh206a-stdenv-bootstrap-tools.drv
…and then built:
/nix/store/95lm0y33dayag4542s8bi83s31bw68dr-stdenv-bootstrap-tools
I downloaded these files from Hydra and prefetched them into the Nix
store with the following commands:
STOREPATH=95lm0y33dayag4542s8bi83s31bw68dr-stdenv-bootstrap-tools
OPTIONS="--option binary-caches https://cache.nixos.org --option trusted-public-keys cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY="
nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command store prefetch-file \
file://$(nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command store add-file --name bootstrap-tools.tar.xz $(nix-store ${OPTIONS} -r /nix/store/${STOREPATH})/on-server/bootstrap-tools.tar.xz)
nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command store prefetch-file --executable \
file://$(nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command store add-path --name busybox $(nix-store ${OPTIONS} -r /nix/store/${STOREPATH})/on-server/busybox)
These commands produced the following output:

I used the hashes from the output above to create the fetchurl
invocation which is part of this commit.
I then started the bootstrap with the following command:
nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command build -L -f . --arg localSystem '(import ./lib).systems.examples.aarch64-multiplatform-musl' hello
As @lovesegfault requested, here are the the sha256sums of all the
on-server components for extra verification:
sha256sum /nix/store/${STOREPATH}/on-server/*
…which produced the following output:

Plugin configuration is pesky in dovecot2, let's warn about potential conflicts
in the module system by using a fancy regex.
This is only band-aid, this should be removed ASAP.
We clean up also a 21.05-era warning.
