This adds an `extraConfig` option to timesyncd for setting additional
options in `/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf`.
This is similar to things like `services.journald.extraConfig` and
`services.logind.extraConfig`.
This has been there since v209 [1]
```
The interface name to use. This option has lower precedence than NamePolicy=, so for this setting to take effect, NamePolicy= must either be unset, empty, disabled, or all policies configured there must fail. Also see the example below with "Name=dmz0".
Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another interface (for example "eth0") is dangerous because the name assignment done by udev will race with the assignment done by the kernel, and only one interface may use the name. Depending on the order of operations, either udev or the kernel will win, making the naming unpredictable. It is best to use some different prefix, for example "internal0"/"external0" or "lan0"/"lan1"/"lan3".

Adding `systemd-importd` to the build, so that `machinectl`s `import-.*`
may actually do anything. Currently they fail with
```
Failed to transfer image: The name org.freedesktop.import1 was not provided by any .service files
```
as `systemd-importd` is not built. Also registers the regarding dbus
api and service in the systemd module.
Both options were introduced in systemd v243[1]. Those options can be
used to ensure that LinkLocalAddressing is only configured for a given
interface if DHCPv4 fails. To quote `systemd.network(5)`:
```
If "fallback" or "ipv4-fallback" is specified, then an IPv4
link-local address is configured only when DHCPv4 fails. If "fallback", an IPv6 link-local
address is always configured, and if "ipv4-fallback", the address is not configured. Note
that, the fallback mechanism works only when DHCPv4 client is enabled, that is, it requires
"DHCP=yes" or "DHCP=ipv4".

GDM now specifies ordering between `plymouth-quit` and `display-manager`:
9be5321097
This causes an ordering cycle between GDM and plymouth-quit which can result in
systemd breaking GDM:
```
plymouth-quit.service: Job display-manager.service/start deleted to break
ordering cycle starting with plymouth-quit.service/start
```
Not sure how often this triggers, as I've run my system with plymouth and
9be5321097 without any issues. But I did catch a VM doing this.
NOTE: I also tried to remove the ordering in GDM to see if plymouth managed to
live longer, but it didn't seem to help. So I opted to stick as close to
upstream (upstream GDM specifies ordering, but plymouth does not).
Images generated with nixos-install will be supported by machinectl
problem is that systemd-nspawn's private usersns feature clashes
with DynamicUser and RuntimeDirectory features, which causes NixOS
images to not boot. There is an upstream issue for this
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13622
In #68792 it was discovered that /dev/fuse doesn't have
wordl-read-writeable permissions anymore. The cause of this is that the
tmpfiles examples in systemd were reorganized and split into more files.
We thus lost some of the configuration we were depending on.
In this commit some of the new tmpfiles configuration that are
applicable to us are added which also makes wtmp/lastlog in the pam
module not necessary anymore.
Rationale for the new tmpfile configs:
- `journal-nowcow.conf`: Contains chattr +C for journald logs which
makes sense on copy-on-write filesystems like Btrfs. Other filesystems
shouldn't do anything funny when that flag is set.
- `static-nodes-permissions.conf`: Contains some permission overrides
for some device nodes like audio, loop, tun, fuse and kvm.
- `systemd-nspawn.conf`: Makes sure `/var/lib/machines` exists and old
snapshots are properly removed.
- `systemd-tmp.conf`: Removes systemd services related private tmp
folders and temporary coredump files.
- `var.conf`: Creates some useful directories in `/var` which we would
create anyway at some point. Also includes
`/var/log/{wtmp,btmp,lastlog}`.
Fixes#68792.
Pretty useful for laptops. I use them with:
```
services.logind.lidSwitch = "suspend-then-hibernate";
environment.etc."systemd/sleep.conf".text = "HibernateDelaySec=8h";
```
boot.kernelPackages: check for conflicts
It's currently possible to set conflicting `boot.kernelPackages` several times.
Nixos now warns when this is the case instead of just picking one.
systemd provides two sysctl snippets, 50-coredump.conf and
50-default.conf.
These enable:
- Loose reverse path filtering
- Source route filtering
- `fq_codel` as a packet scheduler (this helps to fight bufferbloat)
This also configures the kernel to pass coredumps to `systemd-coredump`.
These sysctl snippets can be found in `/etc/sysctl.d/50-*.conf`,
and overridden via `boot.kernel.sysctl`
(which will place the parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/60-nixos.conf`.
Let's start using these, like other distros already do for quite some
time, and remove those duplicate `boot.kernel.sysctl` options we
previously did set.
In the case of rp_filter (which systemd would set to 2 (loose)), make
our overrides to "1" more explicit.
Add support for custom device-tree files, and applying overlays to them.
This is useful for supporting non-discoverable hardware, such as sensors
attached to GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi.
