The test now check the following things:
- Configuring a MySQL server to hold the records
- Loading the PowerDNS schema from file
- Adding records through pdnsutil
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/100119 pantheon's greeter
has g-s-d running which allows brightness controls via pkexec.
This is changed in newer versions of g-s-d (pantheon uses a fork currently),
but whenever brightness is changed with a shell of `shadow` we get
```
Oct 10 23:51:44 kirXps pkexec[18722]: lightdm: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/var/lib/lightdm] [COMMAND=/run/current-system/sw/bin/elementary-settings-daemon/gsd-backlight-helper /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight 65587]
```
I'm not sure this should be strictly needed, so we should try to
revert later on when pantheon's g-s-d is updated.
This adds basically an indirection to systemPackages
to automatically install an interface for flatpak for their respective
environments. e.g if I enable pantheon and flatpak you'll get appcenter,
and on gnome you'll see gnome-software.

Nginx fails to start, because it can't read the certificate file. This
happens because PrivateTmp is set for the service, which makes the
system wide /tmp inaccessible.
When I test a change e.g. in the module system manually, I usually use
`nixos-build-vms(8)` which also gives me a QEMU window where I can play
around in the freshly built VM.
It seems as this has changed recently when the default package for
non-interactive VM tests using the same framework was switched to
`pkgs.qemu_test` to reduce the closure size. While this is a reasonable
decision for our CI tests, I think that you really want a QEMU window of
the VM by default when using `nixos-build-vms(8)`.

Instead of putting a README in the directory where the manual is
written, put the information from it straight in the docs themselves.
It's a bit untrivial to guess the manual is located exactly there for
contributers.
