* run as user 'slurm' per default instead of root
* add user/group slurm to ids.nix
* fix default location for the state dir of slurmctld:
(/var/spool -> /var/spool/slurmctld)
* Update release notes with the above changes
* add freeipmi to get power meter readings
* readline support for scontrol
* libssh2 support for X11 supporta
* Add note to enableSrunX11 in module
* fix hwloc support (was detected by configure)
The nixos module adds a new derivation to
systemPackages to make sure that the binaries
get the generated config file. This derivation
did not contain the man pages so far.
Activating the module now makes the man pages
available in the system environment.
While BOINC itself is open source, many of the project applications
it runs are not. Additionally, these project applications are
checksummed before they are run, so they can't be patched. This
means we can't make the project applications find required binaries/libraries
on a NixOS system. The solution is therefore to make said binaries
and libraries appear in the expected locations, by wrapping BOINC
in an FHS-compatible environment [1].
An `extraEnvPackages` is also added to allow more packages to
be added into this environment. The documentation for this option
describes some practical use cases for it.

Version 2: fixed Docbook list formatting, minor rewording
Version 3: rebase onto master (9c048f4fb6)
Version 4: fix usage of targetPkgs argument to buildFHSUserEnv
We don't want to build all those things along with the manual, so that's
what the defaultText attribute is for.
Unfortunately a few of them were missing, so let's add them.
