Rather than relying on carefully avoiding touching the 9P-mounted
/nix/store, we instead install a small NixOS system, similar to
the installer tests, and boot from that.
This avoids the various pitfalls associated with trying to unsuspend
properly and trades off a bunch of boilerplate for what will hopefully
be a more reliable test.
Additionally, this test now actually tests booting the system using a
bootloader, rather than the previous method of just booting the kernel
directly.
Upstream repositories do no longer exists. There has been no release in
a while. - Not a good combination for a network daemon running as root
in C that parses network packets...
aa22be179a dropped the backend setting
which was used in the test, breaking evaluation of the test in the
process. Kind of defeats the purpose of a test if it isn't executed
before merging a change to a module…
As the only consequence of isSystemUser is that if the uid is null then
it's allocated below 500, if a user has uid = something below 500 then
we don't require isSystemUser to be set.

Pass the args from kernel-generic.nix's top-level to the individual
tests. Makes `nix-build -A nixosTests.kernel-generic.<attr>` and
`nix-build nixos/tests/kernel-generic.nix -A <attr>` work as expected.
* Move `hostname` and `root` into a settings submodule with a freeform
type, allowing users to also use options not known to the NixOS
service. Compatibility with a warning for the renamed options is also
trivial to achieve.
* `port` stays where it is as we don't actually use the `port` option of
spacecookie to set up the socket, but only to inform spacecookie about
the port we have set in the `systemd.socket` file, this makes more
sense. Additionally the configuration of the listening port and
address change in the next spacecookie release — we can dodge this
issue altogether by doing our own thing, but I'm interested to hear
opinions on this.
To ensure that this is not misconfigured, we add an assertion for
the port option.
* Add an assertion for `user` in settings which has no effect the way
we are starting spacecookie as it wouldn't be able to call setuid.
The message also explains how a specific user can be used with
spacecookie if desired.
* Use proper gopher urls
* The client vms name is also controlled in a single place now
* fileContent holds the precise file content now
* wait for the spacecookie unit instead of the port
* avoids sending an empty request
* since spacecookie is a notify service it only is fully started when
the socket has been set up.
