nixos/fonts: Add unifont to list of default fonts.
This fixes #10077 because after some debugging it turns out that by
default we don't have a font which is able to display Chinese symbols.

Thanks to @anderspapitto, @kmicu and hyper_ch on IRC to help debugging
this issue, see log at:

http://nixos.org/irc/logs/log.20150926 starting at 19:46

With unifont we have a reasonable fallback font to ensure that every
written language is rendered correctly and thus less surprise for new
users who keep their font settings at the default.

Thomas Tuegel ba59ff2160 nixos/fontconfig: separate rendering and alias configuration
Fixes #9110. Fontconfig recommends different precedence for rendering
settings and generic alias settings. To comply with the recommendations,
`98-nixos.conf` has been separated into `10-nixos-rendering.conf` and
`60-nixos-generic-alias.conf`.

Eelco Dolstra 7edb27b7af Hide the option fonts.enableCoreFonts
We shouldn't have options that simply enable a package.

Nicolas B. Pierron 9f2865515d Fix infinite loop in fontconfig-ultimate.nix
With the new evaluation of arguments, pkgs is now defined by the
configuration, which implies that option declaration with pkgs.lib
will cause an infinite loop.

Thomas Tuegel 32e41c2280 nixos: fix config.fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.allowBitmaps
The option was incorrectly negated, so that 'allowBitmaps = true'
actually disabled bitmap fonts.

Thomas Tuegel 57ba2093bf Replace Bitstream Vera fonts by DejaVu in defaults
The default configuration installed the Bitstream Vera fonts, but DejaVu
is a superior replacement, and the default Fontconfig settings need it
now for the generic faces monospace, sans-serif, and serif.

Thomas Tuegel c00c563c66 Add NixOS module for fontconfig-ultimate
Details:
* The option `fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.enable` can be used to disable
  the fontconfig-ultimate configuration.
* The user-configurable options provided by fontconfig-ultimate are
  exposed in the NixOS module: `allowBitmaps` (default: true),
  `allowType1` (default: false), `useEmbeddedBitmaps` (default: false),
  `forceAutohint` (default: false), `renderMonoTTFAsBitmap` (default:
  false).
* Upstream provides three substitution modes for substituting TrueType
  fonts for Type 1 fonts (which do not render well). The default,
  "free", substitutes free fonts for Type 1 fonts. The option "ms"
  substitutions Microsoft fonts for Type 1 fonts. The option "combi"
  uses a combination of Microsoft and free fonts. Substitutions can also
  be disabled.
* All 21 of the Infinality rendering modes supported by fontconfig-ultimate
  or by the original Infinality distribution can be selected through
  `fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.rendering`. The default is the medium style
  provided by fontconfig-ultimate. Any of the modes may be customized,
  or Infinality rendering can be disabled entirely.

Thomas Tuegel 1df1305a8a Rewrite Fontconfig NixOS module
Details:
* The option `fonts.enableFontConfig` has (finally) been renamed
  `fonts.fontconfig.enable`.
* Configurations are loaded in this order: first the Fontconfig-upstream
  configuration is loaded, then the NixOS-specific font directories are
  set, the system-wide default configuration is loaded, and finally the
  user configuration is loaded (if enabled).
* The NixOS options `fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.monospace`,
  `fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.sansSerif` and
  `fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.serif` are added to allow setting the
  default system-wide font used for these generic faces. The defaults
  are the appropriate faces from the DejaVu collection because of their
  comprehensive Unicode coverage, clean rendering, and excellent
  legibility.
* The NixOS option `fonts.fontconfig.antialias` can be used to disable
  antialiasing (it is enabled by default).
* The options `fonts.fontconfig.subpixel.rgba` and
  `fonts.fontconfig.subpixel.lcdfilter` control the system-wide default
  settings for subpixel order and LCD filtering algorithm,
  respectively.
* `fonts.fontconfig.hinting.enable` can be used to disable TrueType font
  hinting (it is enabled by default).
  `fonts.fontconfig.hinting.autohint` controls the FreeType autohinter.
  `fonts.fontconfig.hinting.style` controls the hint style; it is "full"
  by default.
* User configurations can be disabled system-wide by setting
  `fonts.fontconfig.includeUserConf = false`. They are enabled by
  default so users can set Fontconfig options in the desktop environment
  of their choice.

Vladimír Čunát e4436ad841 FONTCONFIG_FILE: remove setters to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
Any reasonably new version of fontconfig does search that path by default,
and setting this globally causes problems, as 2.10 and 2.11 need
incompatible configs.

Tested: slim+xfce desktop, chrootenv-ed steam.
I have no idea why we were setting the global variable;
e.g., neither Fedora nor Ubuntu does that.

nixos/manual: Use literalExample when feasible.
Should bring most of the examples into a better consistency regarding
syntactic representation in the manual.

Eelco Dolstra e6b5c0121f Obsolete fonts.extraFonts
You can now just set fonts.fonts, which will be merged with the
default value unless you use mkOverride.

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.
