Since a9d69a74d6, the passphrase prompt
now no longer starts with "Enter passphrase for" but now it's just
"Passphrase for", which causes the luksroot installer test to fail.
I've tested this on a x86_64-linux machine and the test now succeeds.

This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.

In commit 17dd7bcd89 the systemd unit
generator now uses lndir instead of "ln -s", so we need to have lndir
available in the Nix store for the installer tests to be able to build
the units and thus the whole system.
This should fix the installer tests, although I have only tested it with
the "simple" subtest.

-s, --script: never prompts for user intervention
Sometimes the NixOS installer tests fail when they invoke parted, e.g.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/62513826/nixlog/1. But instead of exiting
right there, the tests hang until the Nix builder times out (and kills
the build). With this change the tests would instead fail immediately,
which is preferred.
While at it, use "parted --script" treewide, so nobody gets build
timeout due to parted error (or misuse). (Only nixos/ use it, and only
non-interactive.)
A few instances already use the short option "-s", convert them to long
option "--short".
The installer tests are failing after 505e94256e
due to `nixos-rebuild switch` in the installed system trying to build
stdenvNoCC.
Seems that previously, stdenvNoCC wasn't in the installed
system either, but all the direct dependencies for the build were
(I don't really understand why, for that matter), so the building
actually went fine and everything worked.
But now gcc is also a direct build dependency due to allowedRequisites
containing gcc (even though it doesn't become a runtime dependency)
which doesn't get to the installed system.
All in all, let's ensure stdenvNoCC actually gets to the installed
system. It's after all necessary in almost any NixOS config build.
Restructure the nixos-artwork to make it easy to selectively
incorporate other components from upstream without needing to download
the full package.
Until now only the Gnome_Dark wallpaper was included. Add other
wallpapers available in the package repository.
OVMF{,CODE,VARS}.fd are now available in a dedicated fd output, greatly
reducing the closure in the common case where only those files are used (a
few MBs versus several hundred MBs for the full OVMF).
Note: it's unclear why `dontPatchELF` is now necessary for the build to
pass (on my end, at any rate) but it doesn't make much sense to run this
fixup anyway,
Note: my reading of xen's INSTALL suggests that --with-system-ovmf should
point directly to the OVMF binary. As such, the previous invocation was
incorrect (it pointed to the root of the OVMF tree). In any case, I have
only built xen with `--with-system-ovmf`, I have not tested it.

Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25855
The key distinction I'm drawing is that there's a component that deals
with the store of the machine being built, and another component for
the store building it. The inner part of it assumes nothing from the
builder (doesn't need chroot or root powers) so it can run comfortably
inside a Nix build, as well as nixos-rebuild. I have some upcoming work
that will use that to significantly speed up and streamline image builds
for NixOS, especially on virtualized hosts like EC2, but it's also a
reasonable speedup on native hosts.
The LUKS passphrase prompt has changed from "Enter passphrase" to "Enter
LUKS Passphrase" in c69c76ca7e, so the OCR
detection of the test fails indefinitely.
Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the test because we have a real problem
here:
Enter LUKS Passphrase:
killall: cryptsetup: no process killed
Enter LUKS Passphrase:

This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
This is a regression test for #15226, so that the test will fail once we
accidentally kill one or more of the md kthreads (aka: if safe mode is
enabled).

Coreutils is multi-output and the `info` output doesn't seem to be
included on the install disk, failing like this (because now nix-env
wants to build coreutils):
````

machine# error: build of ‘/nix/store/ybjgqwxx63l8cj1s7b8axx09wz06kxbv-coreutils-8.25.drv’ failed
````
These two steps seem to fail intermittently with exit code 1. It isn't clear to me why, or what the issue is. Adding the `--verbose` option, hoping to capture some debugging information which might aid stabilization. Also: I was unable to replicate the failure locally.
We already have separate tests for checking whether the ISO boots
correctly, so it's not necessary to do that here. So now
tests/installer.nix just tests nixos-install, from a regular NixOS VM
that uses the host's Nix store. This makes running the tests more
convenient because we don't have to build a new ISO after every
change.
By default this is now enabled, and it has to be explicitely enabled
using "enableOCR = true". If it is set to false, any usage of
getScreenText or waitForText will fail with an error suggesting to pass
enableOCR.
This should get rid of the rather large dependency on tesseract which
we don't need for most tests.
Note, that I'm using system("type -P") here to check whether tesseract
is in PATH. I know it's a bashism but we already have other bashisms
within the test scripts and we also run it with bash, so IMHO it's not a
problem here.

Fixes the "blindly hope that 60 seconds is enough" issue from 1f34503,
so that we now have a (hopefully) reliable way to wait for the
passphrase prompt.

This serves as a regression test for #7859.
It's pretty straightforward, except from the fact that nixos-generate-
config doesn't detect LUKS devices and the "sleep 60".
As for the former, I have tried to add support for LUKS devices for
nixos-generate-config, but it's not so easy as it sounds, because we
need to create a device tree across all possible mappers and/or LVM up
to the "real" device and then decide whether it is relevant to what is
currently mounted. So I guess this is something for the nixpart branch
(see #2079).
And the latter isn't very trivial as well, because the LUKS passphrase
prompt is issued on /dev/console, which is the last "console=..." kernel
parameter (thus the `mkAfter`). So we can't simply grep the log, because
the prompt ends up being on one terminal only (tty0) and using select()
on $machine->{socket} doesn't work very well, because the FD is always
"ready for read". If we would read the FD, we would conflict with
$machine->connect and end up having an inconsistent state. Another idea
would be to use multithreading to do $machine->connect while feeding the
passphrase prompt in a loop and stop the thread once $machine->connect
is done. Turns out that this is not so easy as well, because the threads
need to share the $machine object and of course need to do properly
locking.
In the end I decided to use the "blindly hope that 60 seconds is enough"
approach for now and come up with a better solution later. Other VM
tests surely use sleep as well, but it's $machine->sleep, which is bound
to the clock of the VM, so if the build machine is on high load, a
$machine->sleep gets properly delayed but the timer outside the VM won't
get that delay, so the test is not deterministic.
Tested against the following revisions:
5e3fe39: Before the libgcrypt cleanup (a71f78a) that broke cryptsetup.
69a6848: While cryptsetup was broken (obviously the test failed).
15faa43: After cryptsetup has been switched to OpenSSL (fd588f9).

I'm increasing it to 100MB to make sure, any bootloader will fit with
all its stages. Of course, right now the reason why GRUB doesn't fit
into the partition is because of mdadm 3.3.2 and thus the initrd taking
all the space, but in order to avoid confusion on why the *boot* loader
fails in the VM tests, I've increased the size.

This patch should be reverted if either:
- systemd fixes the multi-swapon issue.

- If we disable the autogeneration of swap and vfat units within
systemd.

I tried to keep apparently-safe code in conflicts.
Attempt to fix race condition in installer tests, especially the
grub1 test.
The latter was failing when running "parted /dev/sda ..." because
/dev/sda didn't exist yet.
The installer now asks the user to set a root password if stdin is a
tty, which doesn't work for an interactive test.

This shouldn't be necessary, but it might be that the use of unionfs
is interfering with a clean shutdown.
