Subject: [PATCH] nixos: Add option services.cron.cronFiles

This allows you to configure extra files that should be appended to your
crontab. Implemented by writing to /etc/crontab when the cron service starts.
Would be nicer to use a cron that supports /etc/cron.d but that would require
us to patch vixie-cron.
