- Clarify that shellopts are set in every `execute` call (rather than
only `succeed`).
- Add documentation for the `timeout` parameter and its default values.
This describes how to build your own installer medium with some custom
firmware/drivers, using an Intel MacBook as an example - on which WiFi
doesn't work out of the box, due to it being nonfree.
Fixes#15162.

it's really easy to accidentally write the wrong systemd Exec* directive, ones
that works most of the time but fails when users include systemd metacharacters
in arguments that are interpolated into an Exec* directive. add a few functions
analogous to escapeShellArg{,s} and some documentation on how and when to use them.
The current logic assumes that everything that isn't a derivation is a
store path, but it can also be something that's *coercible* to a store
path, like a flake input.
Unnecessary uses of `lib.toDerivation` result in errors in pure evaluation
mode when `builtins.storePath` is disabled.
Also document what a `package` is.
This type correctly merges multiple option types together while also
annotating them with file information. In a future commit this will be
used for `_module.freeformType`
Makes all options rendered in the manual throw an error if they don't
have a type specified.
This is a follow-up to #76184

most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
Previously the driver was configured exclusively through convoluted
environment variables.
Now the driver's defaults are configured through env variables.
Some additional concerns are in the github comments of this PR.
