DBus seems to resolve user IDs directly via glibc, circumventing nscd. In more
advanced setups this leads to user's coming from LDAP or SSSD not being
resolved by the dbus system bus daemon. The effect for such users is, that all
access to the system bus (e.g. busctl or nmcli) is denied.
Adding the respective NSS modules to the service's environment solves the issue
the same way it does for nscd.
DBus daemon now loads its config from /run/current-system/dbus.
Reloading the daemon makes it re-read that file and catch the updates
after a system upgrade.

Closes#21150
The following changes are included:
1) install user unit files from upstream dbus
2) use absolute paths to config for --system and --session instances
3) make socket activation of user units configurable
There has been a number of PRs to address this, so this one does the
bare minimum, which is to make the functionality available and
configurable but defaults to off.

It appears that packageOverrides no longer overrides aliases, so
aliases like
dbus_tools = self.dbus.out;
dbus_daemon = self.dbus.daemon;
now use the old, non-overriden version of dbus. That seems like a
pretty serious regression in general, but for this particular problem,
I've fixed it by replacing dbus_daemon by dbus.daemon and dbus_tools
by dbus.
The docstring for the `services.dbus.packages` configuration option only
mentioned one directory, but the implementation actually looked for DBus
config files in four separate places within the target packages. This
commit updates the docstring to reflect the actual implementation
behaviour.
This patch makes dbus launch with any user session instead of
leaving it up to the desktop environment launch script to run it.
It has been tested with KDE, which simply uses the running daemon
instead of launching its own.
This is upstream's recommended way to run dbus.
These services don't create files on disk, let alone on a network
filesystem, so they don't really need a fixed uid. And this also gets
rid of a warning coming from <= 14.12 systems.
Specifically, this fixes dnsmasq, which failed with
Apr 16 19:00:30 mandark dnsmasq[23819]: dnsmasq: DBus error: Connection ":1.260" is not allowed to own the service "uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq" due to security policies in the configuration file
Apr 16 19:00:30 mandark dnsmasq[23819]: DBus error: Connection ":1.260" is not allowed to own the service "uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq" due to security policies in the configuration file
after being enabled, due to dbus not being reloaded.
Many bus clients get hopelessly confused when dbus-daemon is
restarted. So let's not do that.
Of course, this is not ideal either, because we end up stuck with a
possibly outdated dbus-daemon. But that issue will become irrelevant
in the glorious kdbus-based future.
Hopefully this also gets rid of systemd getting stuck after
dbus-daemon is restarted:

Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

- use types.lines instead of types.string. The former joins strings
with "\n" and the latter with "" (and is deprecated).
