test-driver: support testing user units
It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.

This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.

The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:

```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:

with lib;

{
  name = "systemd-user-test";

  nodes.machine = {
    imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];

    services.xserver.enable = true;
    services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
    services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
    services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
  };

  testScript = ''
    $machine->start;
    $machine->waitForX;

    $machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
    $machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
    $machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
    $machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
    $machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
  '';
})
```

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
