Felix Singer b7a2309786 flashrom: Install udev-rules file
Add the udev-rules file from flashrom source to the out directory. The
file contains rules for programmers used by flashrom. Members of the
`flashrom` system group are allowed to access these devices.

Also, add a module for installing flashrom and adding flashrom to udev
packages. The module can be used by setting `programs.flashrom.enable`
to `true`.

# Release 21.11 (“?”, 2021.11/??) {#sec-release-21.11}
In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
- Support is planned until the end of April 2022, handing over to 22.05.
## Highlights {#sec-release-21.11-highlights}
- PHP now defaults to PHP 8.0, updated from 7.4.
## New Services {#sec-release-21.11-new-services}
- [geoipupdate](https://github.com/maxmind/geoipupdate), a GeoIP database updater from MaxMind. Available as [services.geoipupdate](options.html#opt-services.geoipupdate.enable).
- [sourcehut](https://sr.ht), a collection of tools useful for software development. Available as [services.sourcehut](options.html#opt-services.sourcehut.enable).
- [ucarp](https://download.pureftpd.org/pub/ucarp/README), an userspace implementation of the Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP). Available as [networking.ucarp](options.html#opt-networking.ucarp.enable).
- Users of flashrom should migrate to [programs.flashrom.enable](options.html#opt-programs.flashrom.enable) and add themselves to the `flashrom` group to be able to access programmers supported by flashrom.
## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-21.11-incompatibilities}
- The `staticjinja` package has been upgraded from 1.0.4 to 2.0.0
- `services.geoip-updater` was broken and has been replaced by [services.geoipupdate](options.html#opt-services.geoipupdate.enable).
- PHP 7.3 is no longer supported due to upstream not supporting this version for the entire lifecycle of the 21.11 release.
- Those making use of `buildBazelPackage` will need to regenerate the fetch hashes (preferred), or set `fetchConfigured = false;`.
- `consul` was upgraded to a new major release with breaking changes, see [upstream changelog](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/releases/tag/v1.10.0).

## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-21.11-notable-changes}
- The setting [`services.openssh.logLevel`](options.html#opt-services.openssh.logLevel) `"VERBOSE"` `"INFO"`. This brings NixOS in line with upstream and other Linux distributions, and reduces log spam on servers due to bruteforcing botnets.
However, if [`services.fail2ban.enable`](options.html#opt-services.fail2ban.enable) is `true`, the `fail2ban` will override the verbosity to `"VERBOSE"`, so that `fail2ban` can observe the failed login attempts from the SSH logs.
- Sway: The terminal emulator `rxvt-unicode` is no longer installed by default via `programs.sway.extraPackages`. The current default configuration uses `alacritty` (and soon `foot`) so this is only an issue when using a customized configuration and not installing `rxvt-unicode` explicitly.
