This change does two things:
* "NixOSizes" environment variables generation. This allows some more
error-checking and opens possibilities for a modular environment
configuration. From now on the most of environment variables are
generated directly by the nix code. Generating sh code that
generates environment variables is left in a few places where
nontrivial access to a local environment state is needed.
* By doing the first change this patch untangles bash from the
environment configuration and makes it trivial to add a support for
other non bash-compatible shells.
Now to the sad part. This change is quite large (and I'm not sure it's
possible to split it) and yet is not quite complete, it needs some
changes to nixpkgs to be perfect.
See !!! comments in modules/config/shells-environment.nix.
Main principle behind this change is "change environment generation
and nothing else". In particular, shell configuration principles stay
exactly the same as before.
- drop custom config:
(please wacom using folks review this part and think
about how to get it back if its important to you)
- put default config shipping with xf86_input_wacom
into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
which seems to be interpreted again when
devices are hot plugged
- when starting x11, also provide xinput
.. you never know when you need it
This fixes all problems I had:
- device only worked when plugged in, then xorg was started
(an alternative quick fix is switching to terminal by ctrl-alt-F1 and back)
- I had to disable some devices, because eg myaint switched input
device many times a sec rendering it unusable otherwise, some of those devices
configured did not work.

We don't need to set $TZ, because we have /etc/localtime. In fact,
setting $TZ without $TZDIR doesn't work anymore since Glibc no longer
contains zone info.

Adds "vmware" to list of default options of
services.xerver.videoDrivers.
new default:
[ "ati" "cirrus" "intel" "vesa" "vmware" ]
old default:
[ "ati" "cirrus" "intel" "vesa" ]

This reverts commit 1e741f1572b6793b861e2f9820015475ce339ae0 as it is
unnecessary according to @edolstra, because services.xserver.config from another
module will be merged into the configuration.

This is currently only a very simple implementation which just recurses a list
of heads that get chained together to the right of the corresponding previous
item of the list.
If I forgot about something in the already existing configuration options,
please let me know or if this commit is useless or a duplicate, feel free to
revert. But by looking at implementation before this commit, I only see zaphod
and/or quirky xinerama-like configuration options.

This is especially useful if you want to supply a default XRandR configuration,
where you need multiple "Monitor" sections in order to set properties for
specific CRTCs (if not running in zaphod mode).

However SLIM is still broken and you have to create a
/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so symlink pointing to
/run/opengl-driver/lib/fglrx_dri.so
At least fgl_glxgears shows 10 times more frames per second now
xserver is started on start_xserver event, which is emitted by
check_for_xserver_start if there is no "noX11" on the kernel cmdline.
Thanks to viric for the general idea.
