Austin Seipp 9242ed1fe2 nixos: refactor tarsnap module
The Tarsnap module is now far more flexible, allowing individual
archives with individual options to be specified at will, allowing
granular backup schedules, etc.

Configuration of a Tarsnap archive. In the example, your

<literal>systemctl start tarsnap@nixos</literal> will
immediately create a new NixOS archive. By default, archives
are suffixed with the timestamp of when they were started,
down to second resolution. This means you can use GNU
<literal>sort</literal> to sort output easily.
