Since we're using HTTPS for the binary cache (introduced in faf0797) by
default, the binary cache should also be available during installation.
The file that is defined in SSL_CERT_FILE outside of the chroot is
copied over to /tmp/ca-cert.crt inside the chroot, so we have an
absolute path we can reference during nixos-install. However, this might
end up with the file not being cleaned up properly from outside of the
store, but neither would be /tmp/root so the cleanup issue needs to be
solved in another place (or commit to be more exact).

Especially new users could be confused by this, so we're now marking
services.virtualbox.enable as obsolete and defaulting to
services.virtualboxGuest.enable instead. I believe this now makes it
clear, that this option is for guest additions only.

The NixOS manual says modules have the following signature:
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
But our generated configuration.nix file lacks the 'lib' part. Add it.
The host id value gets generated by reading a 32-bit value from
/dev/urandom.
This makes programs that rely on a correct host id more reliable.
It also makes using ZFS more seamless, as you don't need to configure
the hostId manually; instead, it becomes part of your config from the
moment you install NixOS.
This reverts commit 469f22d717e53c48d13a66ca862942e8098accc5, reversing
changes made to 0078bc5d8f87512104902eab00c8a44bef286067.

I tried to keep apparently-safe code in conflicts.
On some non-NixOS systems (for example those using "resolvconf"),
/etc/resolv.conf is a symlink. So let's dereference when copying hasts
and resolv.conf.

An escape char is needed to prevent "$ nix" from being evaluated and
expanded to an empty string. With this change the resulting text is
$ nix-env -qaP | grep wget
instead of
-env -qaP | grep wget
"nixos-install --chroot" runs a command (by default a login shell) in
a chroot inside the NixOS installation in /mnt. This might useful for
poking around a new installation.
