This option makes the complete netdata configuration directory available for
modification. The default configuration is merged with changes
defined in the configDir option.

Without this patch merging options like
services.xserver.windowManager.xmonad.extraPackages
results in the evaluation error:
error: value is a list while a set was expected, at nixpkgs/lib/options.nix:77:23
With this patch we get the desired merging behaviour that just concatenates the
resulting package lists.

I've had Netdata crash on me sometimes. Rarely but more than once. And I lost days of data before I noticed.
Let's be nice and restart it on failures by default.
New option `extraPluginPaths' that allows users to supply additional
paths for netdata plugins. Very useful for when you want to use
custom collection scripts.
Otherwise netdata will not find python modules.
To make sure netdata still pick up our setuid version of apps.plugin
we rename the original executable.
The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.
apps.plugin requires capabilities for full process monitoring. with
1.9.0, netdata allows multiple directories to search for plugins and the
setuid directory can be specified here.
the module is backwards compatible with older configs. a test is
included that verifies data gathering for the elevated privileges. one
additional attribute is added to make configuration more generic than
including configuration in string form.
