[Motivation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/257817#issuecomment-1741705042):
- Having all the XKB options in the same attribute set clarifies their
relation better than using a common option name prefix ("xkb").
- `services.xserver.layout` is an XKB option, but this is not obvious
from its name. Putting it with the other XKB options clarifies this.

This reverts commit 80665d606a.
Parsing the package version broke our systemd-boot builder test.
i.e. it won't be able to parse systemd-boot efi binaries coming from
ubuntu
We no longer use the faulty systemd-boot version so this code should no
longer be needed.
For some time now the attrset returned by `evalModules` has
`type = "configuration"`.
This is a clean refactor because the name is not exposed.
(never is for simple lambda)
PIE causes problems with static binaries on ARM (see 76552e9). It is
enabled by default on other platforms anyway when musl is used, so we
don't need to specify it manually.
This was causing the following warning before when building the manual:
warning: literalExample is deprecated, use literalExpression instead, or use literalMD for a non-Nix description.
Rather than using `literalExpression`, nothing is used. This option
expects a string and the example is a string, no special handling
required. Both `literalExample` from the docbook ages and
`literalExpression` now are only required if the example is
a Nix expression rather than a value of the option's type.
Closes#236062
The PR #236062 was submitted because of the following problem: a synapse
instance was running in a NixOS container attached to the host network
and a postgresql instance on the host as database. In this setup,
synapse connected to its DB via 127.0.0.1, but the DB wasn't locally set
up and thus not configured in NixOS (i.e.
`config.services.postgresql.enable` was `false`). This caused the
assertion removed in this patch to fail.
Over three years ago this assertion was introduced when this module
stopped doing autoconfiguration of postgresql entirely[1] because a
breaking change in synapse couldn't be managed via an auto-upgrade on
our side. To make sure people don't deploy their DB away by accident,
this assertion was introduced.
Nowadays this doesn't serve any value anymore because people with
existing instances should've upgraded by now (otherwise it's their job
to carefully read the release notes when missing upgrades for
several years) and people deploying fresh instances are instructed by
the docs to also configure postgresql[2].
Instead, it only causes issues in corner cases like #236062, so after
some discussion in that PR I think it's time to remove the assertion
altogether.
Also, there's no `Requires=` for `postgresql.service` in the systemd
units which means that it's not strictly guaranteed that the DB is up
when synapse starts up. This is fixed now by adding `requires`. To avoid
being bitten by above mentioned cases again, this only happens if
`config.services.postgresql.enable` is `true`.
If somebody uses a non-local postgresql, but has also deployed a local
postgresql instance on the synapse server (rather unlikely IMHO), it's
their job to opt out of this behavior with `mkForce` (this is precisely one
of the use-cases `mkForce` and friends were built for IMHO).
