Enabled a bunch of units that ship with systemd. Also added an option
‘boot.systemd.units’ that can be used to define additional units
(e.g. ‘sshd.service’).
Upstart requires /dev/ptmx since its 1.4, and will lock up in case of it missing.
I was hitting this in the fuloong, where I don't use the nixos initrd.

* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
in use" errors.

* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod. (Not
that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store. But at least
commands like "depmod -n" work now.) Reported by Kirill Elagin on
IRC.

It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
firmware. Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.

modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

This allows setting a fixed device name per array, thus ensuring that at boot,
the arrays will always be mounted with the same names. I think this allows
solving the problem of grub getting confused about softraid device names
(prefix and root), if the devices always get the same naming at initrd.

I set it as default because users can benefit of this without having to prepare
their nixos first, and I don't think it will break any nixos for the initrd
size increase.
It can be disabled with 'boot.initrd.withExtraTools = false'.

reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
attribute in fileSystems. Ext2/3/4 support is currently
unconditional.
Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

This reverts commit 025f8c40b40fad50086e8761eee61098d8fb2651.
The check was intened for building the initrd of the installer.
