Vincent Haupert 786f72c32e nixos/github-runner: start Runner.Listener directly in ExecStart=
The `runsvc.sh` script wraps a JavaScript script which starts
`Runner.Listener` and also handles failures. This has the downside that
the service _always_ exits with status code 0, i.e., success. This
causes frequent service restarts when running in ephemeral mode with a
faulty config as Systemd always sees a success exit status. To prevent
this, this commit changes the service config to call `Runner.Listener`
directly. The JavaScript wrapper stops the process with a SIGINT, hence,
the Systemd unit now sends a SIGINT to stop the service.

Repository to add the runner to.
Changing this option triggers a new runner registration.
IMPORTANT: If your token is org-wide (not per repository), you need to
provide a github org link, not a single repository, so do it like this
`https://github.com/nixos`, not like this
`https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs`.
Otherwise, you are going to get a `404 NotFound`
from `POST https://api.github.com/actions/runner-registration`
in the configure script.

type = types.path;
description = lib.mdDoc ''
The full path to a file which contains either a runner registration token or a
personal access token (PAT).
The file should contain exactly one line with the token without any newline.
If a registration token is given, it can be used to re-register a runner of the same
name but is time-limited. If the file contains a PAT, the service creates a new
registration token on startup as needed. Make sure the PAT has a scope of
`admin:org` for organization-wide registrations or a scope of
`repo` for a single repository.
Changing this option or the file's content triggers a new runner registration.

If enabled, causes the following behavior:
- Passes the `--ephemeral` flag to the runner configuration script
- De-registers and stops the runner with GitHub after it has processed one job
- On stop, systemd wipes the runtime directory (this always happens, even without using the ephemeral option)
- Restarts the service after its successful exit
- On start, wipes the state directory and configures a new runner
You should only enable this option if `tokenFile` points to a file which contains a
personal access token (PAT). If you're using the option with a registration token, restarting the
service will fail as soon as the registration token expired.

Consider using a path outside of the Nix store to keep the token private.
