lib/types: Set name of types.package to "package"
Nobody seems to have noticed this (except @Profpatsch) that options with
a "package" type do not get included in the manual.

So debugging this was a bit more involving because while generating the
manual there is an optionList' attribute built from the collected
attributes of all the option declarations.

Up to that point everything is fine except if it comes to
builtins.toXML, where attributes with { type = "derivation" } won't get
included, for example see here:

nix-repl> builtins.toXML { type = "derivation"; foo = "bar"; }
"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n<expr>\n  <derivation>
 <repeated />\n  </derivation>\n</expr>\n"

nix-repl> builtins.toXML { type = "somethingelse"; foo = "bar"; }
"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n<expr>\n  <attrs>
     <attr name=\"foo\">\n      <string value=\"bar\" />\n    </attr>
     <attr name=\"type\">\n      <string value=\"somethingelse\" />
     </attr>\n </attrs>\n</expr>\n"

The following function in libexpr/eval.cc (Nix) is responsible for toXML
dropping the attributes:

bool EvalState::isDerivation(Value & v)
{
    if (v.type != tAttrs) return false;
    Bindings::iterator i = v.attrs->find(sType);
    if (i == v.attrs->end()) return false;
    forceValue(*i->value);
    if (i->value->type != tString) return false;
    return strcmp(i->value->string.s, "derivation") == 0;
}

So I've renamed this now to "package" which is not only more consistent
with the option type but also shouldn't cause similar issues anymore.

Tested this on base of b60ceea, because building the dependencies on
recent libc/staging changes on master took too long.

Benno Fünfstück 691f683c8c types.nix: better error message for non-paths
This improves error messages when a set or a list is used where a path
was expected. For an example, if you used a package set (as opposed to a
single package) in systemPackages before this commit, the error was:

```
cannot coerce a list to a string, at "/home/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix":103:37
```

Now, the error message reads:

```
The option value `environment.systemPackages' in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' is not a list of paths.
```

Eelco Dolstra 214d4fb73c Allow options with type "package" to be store paths
For example, this allows writing

Also, document types.package in the manual.

Nicolas B. Pierron ed91474e9b Share common code for merging option definitions.
This move idioms which were used in `evalOptionValue` and in the `merge`
functions of `listOf` and `attrsOf` types, such that we can use a names such
as `isDefined` and `optionalValue` instead or repeating identical
comparisons of `defsFinal == []`.

Shea Levy 0a0a29fd0b Add comments about the module system interface
Ideally the module system could be configured pretty much completely by

Nicolas Pierron b5f0cc3cda Merge options having the submodule type.
Now we should be able to have multiple declaration of the same option as
long as all declarations have the same type.  If the type has a sub module,
then it is merged with the submodules of other declarations, as done with
option sets.

In addition, the file of the option declaration is passed into the
submodule, such as the documentation can display it correctly.

Eelco Dolstra 0afdb1e933 Add option type "str" for unique strings
An annoying and dangerous property of "types.string" is that it merges
multiple definitions by concatenating them, which almost never
produces a sensible result.  (Those options for which it does make
sense typically should use "types.lines" instead, and things only work
because the option definitions already end in a newline.)  Of course,
you can use "types.uniq types.string", but that's rather verbose, and
inconsistent with other basic types like "types.int".

Changing the behaviour of "types.string" to be unique by default is
not an option, given the large number of options that use it.  So
instead, we now have "types.str", which is equivalent to "types.uniq
types.string".

Eelco Dolstra 73f32d0375 Show precise error messages in option merge failures
For instance, if time.timeZone is defined multiple times, you now get
the error message:

  error: user-thrown exception: The unique option `time.timeZone' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/x11vnc.nix' and `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix'.

while previously you got:

  error: user-thrown exception: Multiple definitions of string. Only one is allowed for this option.

and only an inspection of the stack trace gave a clue as to what
option caused the problem.

Eelco Dolstra 0e333688ce Big cleanup of the NixOS module system
The major changes are:

* The evaluation is now driven by the declared options.  In
  particular, this fixes the long-standing problem with lack of
  laziness of disabled option definitions.  Thus, a configuration like

    config = mkIf false {
      environment.systemPackages = throw "bla";
    };

  will now evaluate without throwing an error.  This also improves
  performance since we're not evaluating unused option definitions.

* The implementation of properties is greatly simplified.

* There is a new type constructor "submodule" that replaces
  "optionSet".  Unlike "optionSet", "submodule" gets its option
  declarations as an argument, making it more like "listOf" and other
  type constructors.  A typical use is:

    foo = mkOption {
      type = type.attrsOf (type.submodule (
        { config, ... }:
        { bar = mkOption { ... };
          xyzzy = mkOption { ... };
        }));
    };

  Existing uses of "optionSet" are automatically mapped to
  "submodule".

* Modules are now checked for unsupported attributes: you get an error
  if a module contains an attribute other than "config", "options" or
  "imports".

* The new implementation is faster and uses much less memory.
