Bjørn Forsman aff4394be6 nixos-generate-config: fix nix-env example command
An escape char is needed to prevent "$ nix" from being evaluated and
expanded to an empty string. With this change the resulting text is

  $ nix-env -qaP | grep wget

instead of

  -env -qaP | grep wget

Eelco Dolstra 61bdad6775 nixos-install: Don't bind-mount all of /etc

/etc/{passwd,group} for building.

Eelco Dolstra 3ef8d6ad5c nixos-install: Add operation --chroot
"nixos-install --chroot" runs a command (by default a login shell) in
a chroot inside the NixOS installation in /mnt. This might useful for
poking around a new installation.

Eelco Dolstra 8c75ae3838 nixos-generate-config: Use systemd-detect-virt instead of dmidecode
Dmidecode fails in our EFI test with the error "SMBIOS entry point

systemd-detect-virt.

Eelco Dolstra 3fe96bcca1 Rename hardware.opengl.videoDrivers back to services.xserver.videoDrivers
Fixes #2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.

Eelco Dolstra 00372ca638 nixos-rebuild: Fallback for upgrading Nix
Previously, if the currently installed Nix is too old to evaluate
Nixpkgs, then nixos-rebuild would fail and the user had to upgrade Nix
manually. Now, as a fallback, we run ‘nix-store -r’ to obtain a binary
Nix directly from the binary cache.

Eelco Dolstra f9e6181478 nixos-rebuild: Exec nixos-rebuild from the new Nixpkgs tree
This allows doing any necessary actions that were not in the installed
nixos-rebuild (such as downloading a new version of Nix). This does
require us to be careful that nixos-rebuild is backwards-compatible
(i.e. can run in any old installation).

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 caf98828bb nixos-generate-config: Fix PCI/USB checks
As reported by Kirill Elagin, read_file doesn't chomp its output. So

Ricardo M. Correia a146fdab80 nixos-generate-config: Don't generate filesystem options
We don't want to hardcode configuration options that the current kernel chose
for us when mounting the filesystem, since the defaults can change in the
future.

nixos-generate-config: Fix reference to <nixos>.
IIUC, <nixos> is going to be deprecated someday in the future, and as
most of those references are already replaced I guess it's safe to
replace it here as well, as it is only relevant on new/updated
installations.

Eelco Dolstra 49e73ea117 nixos-generate-config: Don't suggest setting fileSystems in configuration.nix
It's already set in hardware-configuration.nix so this just confuses
people.

Also get rid of boot.initrd.kernelModules, since
hardware-configuration.nix is supposed to figure that out as well.

nixos-rebuild: Drop references to <nixos>.
Commit 31203732b3 dropped the reference to
<nixos> from NIX_PATH (nixos/modules/programs/environment.nix) and thus
prevents systems that are not using channels from rebuilding.

nixos-generate-config: Add --show-hardware-config.
So, we get the old behaviour of nixos-hardware-scane if we run the
following command:

nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --show-hardware-config

This allows to use scripts in order to fetch NixOS specific hardware
information, without the need to duplicate code elsewhere.

Eelco Dolstra ca3725bfc9 nixos-generate-config: Add --root option
If this option is given, nixos-generate-config will write the
configuration to /etc/nixos under the given root, and only emit
fileSystems attributes for filesystems under the given root directory.

The typically use case is at installation time, where you can say:

  $ nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

which will create /mnt/etc/nixos/{configuration.nix,hardware-configuration.nix}.

Also add a --force flag to force overwriting configuration.nix.
