grsecurity module: disable EFI runtime services by default
Enabling EFI runtime services provides a venue for injecting code into
the kernel.

When grsecurity is enabled, we close this by default by disabling access
to EFI runtime services.  The upshot of this is that
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars will be unavailable by default (and attempts
to mount it will fail).

This is not strictly a grsecurity related option, it could be made into
a general option, but it seems to be of particular interest to
grsecurity users (for non-grsecurity users, there are other, more
immediate kernel injection attack dangers to contend with anyway).

845c9b50bf boot.initrd.luks.devices: Change into an attribute set
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain

  boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";

while configuration.nix can add

  boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;

Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.

Merge pull request #14476 (taskserver)
This adds a Taskserver module along with documentation and a small
helper tool which eases managing a custom CA along with Taskserver
organisations, users and groups.

Taskserver is the server component of Taskwarrior, a TODO list
application for the command line.

The work has been started by @matthiasbeyer back in mid 2015 and I have
continued to work on it recently, so this merge contains commits from
both of us.

Thanks particularly to @nbp and @matthiasbeyer for reviewing and
suggesting improvements.

I've tested this with the new test (nixos/tests/taskserver.nix) this
branch adds and it fails because of the changes introduced by the
closure-size branch, so we need to do additional work on base of this.

nixos/taskserver: Add module documentation
It's not by any means exhaustive, but we're still going to change the
implementation, so let's just use this as a starting point.

3c5fca9618 filesystems: use list of strings for fs options
Allow usage of list of strings instead of a comma-separated string
for filesystem options. Deprecate the comma-separated string style
with a warning message; convert this to a hard error after 16.09.
15.09 was just released, so this provides a deprecation period during
the 16.03 release.

closes #10518

2cd7c1f198 Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
This is primarily to ensure that

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

behave consistently.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

Fixes #7659.
