Nix Packages collection & NixOS

-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". |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
