When lib overrides were used, before this commit, they would not be made
available in the configuration evaluation of nixosTest's nodes.
Sample code:
``` nix
let
pkgs = import ./. {
overlays = [
(new: old: {
lib = old.lib.extend (self: super: {
sorry_dave = builtins.trace "There are no pod bay doors" "sorry dave";
});
})
];
};
in
pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest {
name = "demo lib overlay";
nodes = {
machine = { lib, ... }: {
environment.etc."got-lib-overlay".text = lib.sorry_dave;
};
};
testScript = { nodes }:
''
start_all()
machine.succeed('grep dave /etc/got-lib-overlay')
'';
}
```
See docs.
Follow-up work:
- Existing packages should be converted
- `defaultPkgConfigPackages` should assert on `meta.pkgConfigModules`
and let `tests.pkg-config` alone test the build results.

Fixes the problem introduced by 12b3066aae
which caused nixos/release.nix to return the wrong attributes, while
intending to only affect nixos/lib's runTest.
This also removes callTest from the test options, because callTest is
only ever invoked by all-tests.nix.
Examples: support has to be added to https://github.com/nix-community/nixdoc
'nixdoc --category testers --description "nixpkgs testers" --file ./pkgs/build-support/testers/default.nix'
we will have more testers in the future so they should have their own
location
putting 'testers' in args will also make it simpler to use multiple testers
