Franz Pletz b5bea4ce32 gnupg: disable gui/pinentry support by default
This solves the dependency cycle in gcr alternatively so there won't be
two gnupg store paths in a standard NixOS system which has udisks2 enabled
by default.

NixOS users are expected to use the gpg-agent user service to pull in the
appropriate pinentry flavour or install it on their systemPackages and set
it in their local gnupg agent config instead.

By default zfs pools will now be trimmed on a weekly basis.
Trimming is only done on supported devices (i.e. NVME or SSDs)
and should improve throughput and lifetime of these devices.
It is controlled by the <varname>services.zfs.trim.enable</varname> varname.
The zfs scrub service (<varname>services.zfs.autoScrub.enable</varname>)
and the zfs autosnapshot service (<varname>services.zfs.autoSnapshot.enable</varname>)
are now only enabled if zfs is set in <varname>config.boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems</varname> or
<varname>config.boot.supportedFilesystems</varname>. These lists will automatically contain
zfs as soon as any zfs mountpoint is configured in <varname>fileSystems</varname>.

GnuPG is now built without support for a graphical passphrase entry
