This fixes notably the fact that /dev/zfs was not usable anymore as a user,
and potentially other things.
Tracked in systemd upstream under issue number 28653, 28765.
This fixes a bug where the vconsole was not working as intended in systemd stage 1 with systemd v254.
udev rules are now starting with this service instead of whatever happened before.
This is an early preparation for systemd v254 which causes some patch reflows
and EFI-related cleanups to their new build system with elf2efi, requiring pyelftools
as a Python packge.
Clarify that the monochrome font is not included, per #221181.
The new name is also coherent with the name of the font,
according to `fontconfig`: Noto Color Emoji.
For NVLink topology systems we need fabricmanager. Fabricmanager itself is
dependent on the datacenter driver set and not the regular x11 ones, it is also
tightly tied to the driver version. Furhtermore the current cudaPackages
defaults to version 11.8, which corresponds to the 520 datacenter drivers.
Future improvement should be to switch the main nvidia datacenter driver version
on the `config.cudaVersion` since these are well known from:
> https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-compatibility/index.html#use-the-right-compat-package
This adds nixos configuration options `hardware.nvidia.datacenter.enable` and
`hardware.nvidia.datacenter.settings` (the settings configure fabricmanager)
Other interesting external links related to this commit are:
* Fabricmanager download site:

* Data Center drivers:
- https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/193711/en-us/
Implementation specific details:
* Fabricmanager is added as a passthru package, similar to settings and
presistenced.
* Adds `use{Settings,Persistenced,Fabricmanager}` with defaults to preserve x11
expressions.
* Utilizes mkMerge to split the `hardware.nvidia` module into three comment
delimited sections:
1. Common
2. X11/xorg
3. Data Center
* Uses asserts to make the configurations mutualy exclusive.
Notes:
* Data Center Drivers are `x86_64` only.
* Reuses the `nvidia_x11` attribute in nixpkgs on enable, e.g. doesn't change it
to `nvidia_driver` and sets that to either `nvidia_x11` or `nvidia_dc`.
* Should have a helper function which is switched on `config.cudaVersion` like
`selectHighestVersion` but rather `selectCudaCompatibleVersion`.
My system does not use `bcache` and I sould prever my `systemPackages`
not to have bcache tools.
The change does not change the default but proviced usual `enable` knob.
Add new command `nixos-rebuild list-generations`. It will show an output
like

fixes#232505
Implements the new option `security.acme.maxConcurrentRenewals` to limit
the number of certificate generation (or renewal) jobs that can run in
parallel. This avoids overloading the system resources with many
certificates or running into acme registry rate limits and network
timeouts.
Architecture considerations:
- simplicity, lightweight: Concerns have been voiced about making this
already rather complex module even more convoluted. Additionally,
locking solutions shall not significantly increase performance and
footprint of individual job runs.
To accomodate these concerns, this solution is implemented purely in
Nix, bash, and using the light-weight `flock` util. To reduce
complexity, jobs are already assigned their lockfile slot at system
build time instead of dynamic locking and retrying. This comes at the
cost of not always maxing out the permitted concurrency at runtime.
- no stale locks: Limiting concurrency via locking mechanism is usually
approached with semaphores. Unfortunately, both SysV as well as
POSIX-Semaphores are *not* released when the process currently locking
them is SIGKILLed. This poses the danger of stale locks staying around
and certificate renewal being blocked from running altogether.
`flock` locks though are released when the process holding the file
descriptor of the lock file is KILLed or terminated.
- lockfile generation: Lock files could either be created at build time
in the Nix store or at script runtime in a idempotent manner.
While the latter would be simpler to achieve, we might exceed the number
of permitted concurrent runs during a system switch: Already running
jobs are still locked on the existing lock files, while jobs started
after the system switch will acquire locks on freshly created files,
not being blocked by the still running services.
For this reason, locks are generated and managed at runtime in the
shared state directory `/var/lib/locks/`.

the schema files referenced in the current preStart are empty.
other ones exist, but don't apply cleanly either.
calling update.php with --update-schema works for initial setup and
updates. if the database schema is already up to date, it's idempotent.
