Commit 31203732b3 dropped the reference to
<nixos> from NIX_PATH (nixos/modules/programs/environment.nix) and thus
prevents systems that are not using channels from rebuilding.

So, we get the old behaviour of nixos-hardware-scane if we run the
following command:
nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --show-hardware-config
This allows to use scripts in order to fetch NixOS specific hardware
information, without the need to duplicate code elsewhere.

The attributes swapDevices and imports add a space character after the
eqals sign, which is unnecessary. I know, I'm a pedantic douche bag but
it hurts my eyes.

This is to get back the old behavior of nixos-hardware-scan, which
didn't include fileSystems and swapDevices.

Close # 1061.
Those tests are flapping and redundant to some degree, as two
configurations are tested in NixOps as well. So, let's deactivate them
until the 1.0 release of nixpart, which has a more general approach for
automatically partitioning NixOS installations.

Previously changing the value of certain options in configuration.nix
would cause the manual to be regenerated, because some option defaults
depend on the configuration. This is undesirable because rebuilding
the manual is kind of slow. So now the manual reflects an empty
configuration.
The downside is that this requires another call to fixMergeModules,
which adds about 14% to evaluation time. Probably worth it.
It requires a writable /nix/store to store the build result. Also,
wait until we've reached multi-user.target before doing the build, and
do a sync at the end to ensure all data to $out is properly written.

Suggested by Marc Weber. Fixes#1059.
Generate /etc/nix.machines only if buildMachines is not empty. Thus,
if you want to manage /etc/nix.machines in some other way, you can set
nix.distributedBuilds to true but not set nix.buildMachines.
