release-notes/15.09: Document changes for vboxsf.
Since 74209a4 we have initial support for the "vboxsf" (VirtualBox
shared folder) file system support. This will be cherry-picked to
release-15.09 so we need to notice people about the change.

release-notes/15.09: Use <option/> for options.
There were quite a few configuration options which were tagged via
<literal/>, so in order to keep consistency with other docbook manuals
in the source tree, let's use <option/> here.

nixos/vbox: Move all options to virtualisation.*.
Commit 687caeb renamed services.virtualboxHost to programs.virtualbox,
but according to the discussion on the commit, it's probably a better to
put it into virtualisation.virtualbox instead.

The discussion can be found here:

Vladimír Čunát 2bdd4aa1cb nixos/release-notes: move "new services" section

Eelco Dolstra 214d4fb73c Allow options with type "package" to be store paths
For example, this allows writing

  nix.package = /nix/store/786mlvhd17xvcp2r4jmmay6jj4wj6b7f-nix-1.10pre4206_896428c;

Also, document types.package in the manual.

Eelco Dolstra 2cd7c1f198 Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
This is primarily to ensure that

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

behave consistently.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

Fixes #7659.

Eelco Dolstra b3d8d750de Remove /etc/nixos/nixpkgs from $NIX_PATH

get rid of it.

Eelco Dolstra 201f9beddb Don't enable cron by default
The rationale for disabling this is: 1) systemd timers are better; 2)
it gets rid of one usually unnecessary process, which makes containers
more light-weight.

Note that cron is still enabled if services.cron.systemCronJobs is
non-empty, so this only matters if you have no declarative cron jobs
but do have user cron jobs.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 9c2f2bc893 kernel-config: Enable FB_VESA and FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
Commit 159fed47bc (nixos/grub: Fix video display on efi) changed BIOS
systems to start in non-text mode as well. Enable FB_VESA to get a
framebuffer console on BIOS systems. Change FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE to 'y'
instead of the default 'm' to so the user doesn't need to manually load
the fbcon module anymore.

Other distros have similar defaults, at least on Arch:
    CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
    CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
and on Ubuntu (12.04):
    CONFIG_FB_VESA=m
    CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y

Fixes #8139
