The Nix search path is the established mechanism for specifying the
location of Nix expressions, so let's use it instead of adding another
environment variable.
Putting information in external JSON files is IMHO not an improvement
over the idiomatic style of Nix expressions. The use of JSON doesn't
add anything over Nix expressions (in fact it removes expressive
power). And scattering package info over lots of little files makes
packages less readable over having the info in one file.
This code in amazon-image.nix:
if mountFS "$device" "$mp" "" auto; then
if [ -z "$diskForUnionfs" ]; then diskForUnionfs="$mp"; fi
fi
relies on mountFS to return a zero exit status if mounting
succeeds. But the lustrateRoot check in mountFS was causing a non-zero
exit status. As a result /disk0 would be mounted, but not used for
/tmp.

requiredSystemFeatures is not a meta attribute but a derivation
attribute. So "big-parallel" was being ignored on e.g. chromium,
causing it to be built (and timing out) on slow machines.

The use of unionfs-fuse (57a0f140643cde409022e297ed05e05f8d34d778)
slows down the KDE 5 test enough that it hits Hydra timeouts. (E.g. on
my laptop it went from ~5 min to ~30 min.) So disable it for the KDE
test.

In a user namespace, sending credentials for an unmapped user return
EINVAL instead of EPERM. So handle that case.

Overlayfs is quite a bit faster, e.g. with it the KDE 5 test takes ~7m
instead of ~30m on my laptop (which is still not great, since plain
9pfs is ~4m30s).
This works around:
machine: must succeed: nix-store -qR /run/current-system | grep nixos-
machine# error: changing ownership of path ‘/nix/store’: Invalid argument
Probably Nix shouldn't be anal about the ownership of the store unless
it's trying to build/write to the store.

Previously we were using two or three (qemu_kvm, qemu_test, and
qemu_test with a different dbus when minimal.nix is included).

This option is defined in qemu-vm.nix, but that module is not always
imported.

Since Nix now runs builds in a user namespace with uid == 0, this
triggered the message
warning: the group ‘nixbld’ specified in ‘build-users-group’ does not exist
which make-tarball.nix turns into a fatal error. So clear
build-users-group.

They're broken after all. In particular, this prevents us from
evaluating packages that are unsupported on a particular platform.
Reverts a147ddc42c.
Fixes#20817.
Deprecation warnings should not be used in Nixpkgs because they spam
innocent "nix-env -qa" users with (in this case) dozens of messages
that they can't do anything about.
This also reverts commit 2ca8833383.
The configuration { services.openssh.enable = true;
services.openssh.forwardX11 = false; } caused
programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation to be set to false, which was not the
intent. The intent is that programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation should be
automatically enabled if needed or if xauth is already available.
This gives a nicer error message than (say)
while evaluating the option `fileSystems':

It was lacking the dbus configuration to bind to
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, and it was passing fixed TTY/display
numbers to the X server (see 9be012f0d4).
Since 8180922d23, the cjdns module
imports from a derivation, which is very bad. It causes all of stdenv
to be built at evaluation time. Since we have a hard 3600 second limit
on Hydra evaluations, this was causing NixOS jobsets to time out.

For some reason, between Linux 4.4.19 and 4.4.20, the atkbd and libps2
kernel modules lost their dependency on i8042 in modules.dep, causing
i8042 not to be included in the initrd. This breaks keyboard in the
initrd, in turn breaking LUKS.
This only happens on the 16.03 branch; on 16.09, it appears i8042 is
pulled into the initrd anyway (through some other dependency,
presumably). But let's include it explicitly.

It was already ordered after systemd-udev-settle.service, but that
doesn't do anything if no other units require
systemd-udev-settle.service. This was causing random failures during X
server startup, e.g.
machine# [ 12.691372] display-manager[607]: (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

$NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE overrides $SSL_CERT_FILE, which in turn overrides
the default CA path (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt). This allows
Nix to set a CA path without interfering with other packages (such as
Homebrew).
