many services depend on other services that bring up network interfaces.
Examples are ipv6 tunneling clients or VPNs.
As there are multiple choices for these network-interface-providing services,
it's not nice to hardcore these deps in every service.
This change sets up a generic config option for this purpose.
providers (gw6c/gogoclient/openvpn) can plug into this to signal they bring up
an important interface.
Daemons that need these interfaces, can then depend on the 'all-interfaces' event,
instead of the individual services.
By default, the event fires when network-interfaces completes.

since the latter is rather deprecated and has been unmaintained
since 2001. Note that "ip" doesn't know about classful addressing,
so you can no longer get away with not specifying the subnet mask
for explicitly configured interfaces. So if you had
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "eth0"; ipAddress = "192.168.1.1"; } ];
this should be changed to
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "eth0";
ipAddress = "192.168.1.1";
subnetMask = "255.255.255.0";
}
];
otherwise you end up with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

interface name through the derived option networking.ifaces. This
makes it easier to get information about specific interfaces
(e.g. `nodes.router.config.networking.ifaces.eth2.ipAddress').
Really networking.interfaces should be an attribute set.

statically configured interface (i.e. we're not running dhclient).
Otherwise the ntpd job won't be triggered.
* Use the "-n" flag of "initctl emit" to send the event
asynchronously.

current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

* Simplified the pre-start script of the network-interfaces module.
* Removed wireless support from the network-interfaces module. It
only worked for static WEP configurations anyway, and AFAIK nobody
used it.

ove QEMU (and other NixOS instances that use a remote filesystem like
NFS):
* Don't take down the network interfaces during shutdown.
* Don't try to unmount the Nix store. Usually, this doesn't work
because it's still in use, but on remote filesystems like CIFS the
`-f' umount flag actually works.

initialising network interfaces, etc.) to modules/tasks. This
follows the Upstart terminology: a service is a job that doesn't
usually terminate (e.g. a daemon), while a task is a job that does
some work and then exits.
