edef 10c6df2e3c nixos/…/swap.nix: don't create a LUKS header for randomEncryption
Creating and then erasing the key relies on the disk erasing data
correctly, and otherwise allows attackers to simply decrypt swap just
using "secretkey". We don't actually need a LUKS header, so we can save
ourselves some pointless disk writes and identifiability.

In addition, I wouldn't have made the awful mistake of backing up my swap partition's LUKS header instead of my zpool's. May my data rest in peace.

obadz a7d238136d nixos/…/swap.nix: remove backslashes from deviceName
Fixes #8277

Prior to this, backslashes would end up in fstab and the swap partition
was not activated.  Swap files seemed to work fine.

Bjørn Forsman b30852ed41 nixos/swap: support for resizing swapfile
Currently NixOS creates the swapfile (with the specified size) only if
it doesn't already exist. Changing the swapfile size afterwards will not
have any effect.

This commit changes that so the swapfile will be recreated whenever
swapDevices.*.size is changed (or more precisely, whenever the actual
file size differs from the configured one), allowing both growing and
shrinking the swapfile.

The service unit has "restartIfChanged = false", so we don't have to
worry about the swapfile being in use at the time this code is run (you
have to reboot for swapfile changes).

fallocate doesn't shrink files, use truncate for that. truncate can also
be used to grow files, but it creates "holes" in the file which doesn't
work with swapfiles.

Nikolay Amiantov 9df07753ce swap service: don't restart mkswap.service on switches
Sadly, we can't instruct systemd to properly restart device-name.swap when this service restarts (or I haven't found the way to do so). As of now blindly restarting it would only get you a bunch of errors about device already used -- let's avoid it.

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.
