With libinput used for keyboard, base rules produce incorrect keyboard
layouts. We are removing the option as recommended in the XKB configuration
guide [1] to let X server choose the ruleset. It looks like it chooses
evdev rules which seem to work for some reason

The munin-node service used wrapProgram to inject environment variables.
This doesn't work because munin plugins depend on argv[0], which is
overwritten when the executable is a script with a shebang line (example
below).
This commit removes the wrappers and instead passes the required
environment variables to munin-node.
Eliminating the wrappers resulted in some broken plugins, e.g., meminfo
and hddtemp_smartctl. That was fixed with the per-plugin configuration.
Example:
The plugin if_eth0 is a symlink to /.../plugins/if_, which uses $0
to determine that it should monitor traffic on the eth0 interface.
if_ is a wrapped program, and runs `exec -a "$0" .if_-wrapped`
.if_-wrapped has a "#!/nix/.../bash" line, which results in bash
changing $0, and as a result the plugin thinks my interface
is called "-wrapped".
While BOINC itself is open source, many of the project applications
it runs are not. Additionally, these project applications are
checksummed before they are run, so they can't be patched. This
means we can't make the project applications find required binaries/libraries
on a NixOS system. The solution is therefore to make said binaries
and libraries appear in the expected locations, by wrapping BOINC
in an FHS-compatible environment [1].
An `extraEnvPackages` is also added to allow more packages to
be added into this environment. The documentation for this option
describes some practical use cases for it.

Version 2: fixed Docbook list formatting, minor rewording
Version 3: rebase onto master (9c048f4fb66adc33c6b379f2edefcb615fd53de6)
Version 4: fix usage of targetPkgs argument to buildFHSUserEnv
* nghttpx: Add a new NixOS module for the nghttpx proxy server
This change also adds a global `uid` and `gid` for a `nghttpx` user
and group as well as an integration test.
* nixos/nghttpx: fix building manual
For some reason, the GNOME 3.26 update broke the overrides. It turns
out the overrides now need to come before the overriden schemas in the
XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. This is not possible in general due to applications
prefixing the variable (e.g. in wrapGAppsHook).
To fix this, a new environment variable NIX_GSETTINGS_OVERRIDES_DIR
was introduced. It has greater priority than XDG_DATA_DIRS but lower
than GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. A separate variable was chosen in order not
to block the built-in one for users.
Comparing packages via equality will lead to different results when package and module are from different
`nixpkgs` checkouts.
Also, because MariaDB is actually supported, added a note to option description to make this knowledge more discover-able.
`nixos-option` evals the description and the '`' is used to
define shell commands.
Due to this, the following error appears:
```
$ nixos-option services.postgresql.superUser
Value:
"root"
Default:
"root"
Description:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: root: command not found
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: postgres: command not found
NixOS traditionally used as superuser, most other distros use .
From 17.09 we also try to follow this standard. Internal since changing this value
would lead to breakage while setting up databases.
```
