- Removal of top-level `with lib`
- Allow usage of module without setting `platformTheme`, so we can set
the QT_PLUGIN_PATH/QML2_IMPORT_PATH paths without theming
- Add support for kvantum and some other styles
- Add myself as maintainer
[Motivation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/257817#issuecomment-1741705042):
- Having all the XKB options in the same attribute set clarifies their
relation better than using a common option name prefix ("xkb").
- `services.xserver.layout` is an XKB option, but this is not obvious
from its name. Putting it with the other XKB options clarifies this.

Before: `users.users.user1.group = "group-not-defined-anywhere-else"`
would result in user1 having the primary group `nogroup`, assigned at
activation time and only with a (easy to miss) warning from the
activation script. This behaviour is a security issue becase no files
should be owned by `nogroup` and it allows for unrelated users (and
services) to accidentally have access to files they shouldn't have.
After: The configuration above results in this eval error:
- The following users have a primary group that is undefined: user1
Hint: Add this to your NixOS config:
users.groups.group-not-defined-anywhere-else = {};
and remove nano from environment.defaultPackages. In addition also cleanup the file in general.
This is a follow up to #220481

The text was originally added [0] following an apparently incomplete
research on how everything plays together. In fact, Nix propagates
`outputs` to the corresponding nested derivations, and there is some
messy behavior in Nixpkgs that only seems to propagate
`meta.outputsToInstall` in `buildEnv`[1].
This change moves the hints on how to use NixOS specifics to NixOS
module documentation (which is hopefully easier to find through
search.nixos.org), describes the default behavior in Nixpkgs (updating
a the link to the source), and removes the confusing mention of
`nix-env`.
the last of them should not be there to begin with. we don't want
beginners to use `nix-env`, as this is known to run them into trouble
eventually.

This fixes a bug where the vconsole was not working as intended in systemd stage 1 with systemd v254.
udev rules are now starting with this service instead of whatever happened before.
Clarify that the monochrome font is not included, per #221181.
The new name is also coherent with the name of the font,
according to `fontconfig`: Noto Color Emoji.
- Avoid false-positives on package sets that contain a `terminfo` derivation,
like `haskellPackages` and `sbclPackages`.
- Directly provide a list of names that can be used to update the NixOS module,
rather than a list of derivations which is hard to read in the REPL.
This avoids the possible confusion with `passwordFile` being the file
version of `password`, while it should contain the password hash.
Fixes issue #165858.
Since #246772, cross compiled NixOS is broken because the DateTime perl
package that was used in the update-users-groups.pl script depends on
Testutf8 which does not cross compile (see #198548).
This PR drops the DateTime dependency in favour of TimePiece, which has
less dependencies and whose closure does cross compile.
