Pascal Bach de52d2450e Cleanup PostgreSQL for state version 17.09 (#25753)
* postgresql service: make 9.6 the default version for 17.09

* postgresql service: change default superuser for 17.09

Change the default superuser from `root` to `postgres` for state
version 17.09

* postgresql service: change default data directory for 17.09

The new directory includes the schema version of the database.
This makes upgrades easier and is more consistent with other distros.

* updated nixos release notes

Merge pull request #15353 (improve xrandrHeads)
When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.

However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.

This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:

 * XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
 * SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
         currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
 * XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
           taskbar on the primary monitor

These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.

The changes are also backwards-compatible.

nixos/doc: Improve release notes for xrandrHeads
The xrandrHeads option has been there since a long time, so there is no
need to advertise it as a new feature.

Instead, let's focus on just what has changed, which is that we now
assign one head to be primary.

Allow attaching to non-child processes by default
The inability to run strace or gdb is the kind of
developer-unfriendliness that we're used to from OS X, let's not do it
on NixOS.

This restriction can be re-enabled by setting

  boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope" = 1;

It might be nice to have a NixOS module for enabling hardened defaults.

Xref #14392.

Thanks @abbradar.

nixpkgs: allow packages to be marked insecure
If a package's meta has `knownVulnerabilities`, like so:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      name = "foobar-1.2.3";

      ...

      meta.knownVulnerabilities = [
        "CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution"
        "CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation"
      ];
    }

and a user attempts to install the package, they will be greeted with
a warning indicating that maybe they don't want to install it:

    error: Package ‘foobar-1.2.3’ in ‘...default.nix:20’ is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.

    Known issues:

     - CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution
     - CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation

    You can install it anyway by whitelisting this package, using the
    following methods:

    a) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ‘foobar-1.2.3’ to
       `nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
       like so:

         {
           nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
             "foobar-1.2.3"
           ];
         }

    b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
    ‘foobar-1.2.3’ to `permittedInsecurePackages` in
    ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, like so:

         {
           permittedInsecurePackages = [
             "foobar-1.2.3"
           ];
         }

Adding either of these configurations will permit this specific
version to be installed. A third option also exists:

  NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1 nix-build ...

though I specifically avoided having a global file-based toggle to
disable this check. This way, users don't disable it once in order to
get a single package, and then don't realize future packages are
insecure.
