Eelco Dolstra 29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

Eelco Dolstra 800f9c2037 Show correct position info for errors in submodules
E.g.

  The unique option `fileSystems./.device' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' and `/etc/nixos/foo.nix'.

This requires passing file/value tuples to the merge functions.

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.
