Eelco Dolstra a574065a81 nixos-rebuild: Add ‘dry-activate’ command
‘nixos-rebuild dry-activate’ builds the new configuration and then
prints what systemd services would be stopped, restarted etc. if the
configuration were actually activated. This could be extended later to
show other activation actions (like uids being deleted).

To prevent confusion, ‘nixos-rebuild dry-run’ has been renamed to
‘nixos-rebuild dry-build’.

nixos/manual: Re-add development section.
I think this has been accidentally dropped by a099ca4, at least there is
no reason stated, why it shouldn't be included, so I'm bringing it back.

Nicolas B. Pierron c231506b5a Merge pull request #5362 from nbp/update-channels
Add a script to add git branches for each channel.

To create / update references to remote / local channels, you have to run `./maintainers/scripts/update-channel-branches.sh` while you are at the top-level of nixpkgs work directory.  To make this convenient for Nixpkgs / NixOS developer, one can run the following command:

```
$ git config --add alias.fetch-channels '!sh -c "$(git rev-parse --show-cdup)maintainers/scripts/update-channel-branches.sh"'
```

Which will register the alias fetch-channels such that the script can used from sub-directory of nixpkgs by running `git fetch-channels`.

Eelco Dolstra 1a75958be5 Unify mutableUsers = { true, false }
With mutableUsers = true, we now ensure that all users and groups that
were created declaratively, are updated or removed
appropriately. Thus, adding a user to users.extraUsers and then
removing it now causes the acoount to be removed from
/etc/passwd. Thus user/group management is fully congruent except that
users and groups that were created imperatively (via useradd/groupadd)
are not touched. We distinguish between declarative and imperative
users/groups by tracking the former in
/var/lib/nixos/declarative-{groups,users}.

With mutableUsers = false, you are now no longer required to specify
UIDs/GIDs for all users. The handling of mutableUsers = true/false is
the same code path; the only difference is that the "false" mode
ignores the existing contents of /etc/{passwd,group}.

The attribute ‘createUser’ is gone. It doesn't really make sense to
specify users that shouldn't be created.

it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.
