nixos/confinement: Allow to include the full unit
From @edolstra at [1]:

  BTW we probably should take the closure of the whole unit rather than
  just the exec commands, to handle things like Environment variables.

With this commit, there is now a "fullUnit" option, which can be enabled
to include the full closure of the service unit into the chroot.

However, I did not enable this by default, because I do disagree here
and *especially* things like environment variables or environment files
shouldn't be in the closure of the chroot.

For example if you have something like:

  { pkgs, ... }:

  {
    systemd.services.foobar = {
      serviceConfig.EnvironmentFile = ${pkgs.writeText "secrets" ''
        user=admin
        password=abcdefg
      '';
    };
  }

We really do not want the *file* to end up in the chroot, but rather
just the environment variables to be exported.

Another thing is that this makes it less predictable what actually will
end up in the chroot, because we have a "globalEnvironment" option that
will get merged in as well, so users adding stuff to that option will
also make it available in confined units.

I also added a big fat warning about that in the description of the
fullUnit option.

nixos/confinement: Allow to configure /bin/sh
Another thing requested by @edolstra in [1]:

  We should not provide a different /bin/sh in the chroot, that's just
  asking for confusion and random shell script breakage. It should be
  the same shell (i.e. bash) as in a regular environment.

While I personally would even go as far to even have a very restricted
shell that is not even a shell and basically *only* allows "/bin/sh -c"
with only *very* minimal parsing of shell syntax, I do agree that people
expect /bin/sh to be bash (or the one configured by environment.binsh)
on NixOS.

So this should make both others and me happy in that I could just use
confinement.binSh = "${pkgs.dash}/bin/dash" for the services I confine.

nixos/systemd-chroot: Rename chroot to confinement
Quoting @edolstra from [1]:

  I don't really like the name "chroot", something like "confine[ment]"
  or "restrict" seems better. Conceptually we're not providing a
  completely different filesystem tree but a restricted view of the same
  tree.

I already used "confinement" as a sub-option and I do agree that
"chroot" sounds a bit too specific (especially because not *only* chroot
is involved).

So this changes the module name and its option to use "confinement"
instead of "chroot" and also renames the "chroot.confinement" to
"confinement.mode".
