Profpatsch b9a7e21ef6 nixos-hardware: prepare for merge by moving to nixos/hardware 
It is going to be merged into nixpkgs, under `nixos/hardware`.

Thankfully no tweaking of the BIOS or similar was needed. Do note that if your MacOS partition is encrypted, you will have an easier time shrinking it from within MacOS, but this is standard advice.
