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
Changed extraUsers -> users and one case of extraGroups -> groups in nixos manual chapter 7.
According to chatter on IRC these are the proper names for these configuration options nowadays.
Modified based on feedback from Jörg Talheim.
Previously only the line numbers of a giant, internally generated XML file were
printed, without any kind of debuggability.
Now at least the mentioned lines are printed with a little bit of surrounding
context (to have something to grep for).

The bash module currently sets the `/etc/inputrc` unconditionally,
which prevents easy user override. This commit lowers the priority of
the setting to "option default" level, which allows a user to override
the value using either
environment.etc."inputrc".text = …
or
environment.etc."inputrc".source = …
Fixes#28443
Fixed few invocations to `systemctl` to have an absolute path. Additionally add
LOCALE_ARCHIVE so that perl stops spewing warning messages.
Since ssh-dss is no longer supported by default, users relying on those
keys for their login may be locked out. They should ideally use stronger
keys, but adding the support for ssh-dss back in can also be done
through extraConfig.
Looking at upstream git repo (git://github.com/Yubico/pam-u2f.git) the
docs initially said the path was ~/.yubico/u2f_keys, but it was later
changed to ~/.config/Yubico/u2f_keys (in 2015).
I have run pam_u2f.so with "debug" option and observed that the correct
path indeed is ~/.config/Yubico/u2f_keys.
