nixos/test-driver: Make tesseract OCR optional. 
By default this is now enabled, and it has to be explicitely enabled
using "enableOCR = true". If it is set to false, any usage of
getScreenText or waitForText will fail with an error suggesting to pass
enableOCR.

This should get rid of the rather large dependency on tesseract which
we don't need for most tests.

Note, that I'm using system("type -P") here to check whether tesseract
is in PATH. I know it's a bashism but we already have other bashisms
within the test scripts and we also run it with bash, so IMHO it's not a
problem here.

nixos/test-driver: Add new waitForText function. 
As promised in the previous commit, this can be used similarly to
$machine->waitForWindow, where you supply a regular expression and it's
retrying OCR until the regexp matches.

nixos/test-driver: Add new getScreenText function. 
Basically, this creates a screenshot and throws tesseract at it to
recognize the characters from the screenshot. In order to produce a
result that is well enough, we're using lanczos scaling and scale the
image up to 400% of its original size.

This provides the base functionality for a new Machine method which will
be called waitForText. I originally had that idea long ago when writing
the VM tests for VirtualBox and Chromium, but thought it would be
disproportionate to the case.

The downside however is that VM tests now depend on tesseract, but given
the average runtime of our tests it really shouldn't have a too big
impact and it's only a runtime dependency after all.

Another issue is that the OCR process takes quite some time to finish,
but IMHO it's better (as in more deterministic) than to rely on sleep().

releaso-notes: Document changes from #7349. 
Thanks to @domenkozar for implicitly reminding me that documentation is
probably our biggest issue. And I'm a dumbass for contributing to that
situation, so let's do better than that and document it.

The current changes are only preparation for a bigger change coming real
soon[TM] in Hydra and release-tools, so right now it's still a bit
tedious to create custom channels.

a574065a81 nixos-rebuild: Add ‘dry-activate’ command 
‘nixos-rebuild dry-activate’ builds the new configuration and then
prints what systemd services would be stopped, restarted etc. if the
configuration were actually activated. This could be extended later to
show other activation actions (like uids being deleted).

To prevent confusion, ‘nixos-rebuild dry-run’ has been renamed to
‘nixos-rebuild dry-build’.

c231506b5a Merge pull request #5362 from nbp/update-channels 
Add a script to add git branches for each channel.

To create / update references to remote / local channels, you have to run `./maintainers/scripts/update-channel-branches.sh` while you are at the top-level of nixpkgs work directory.  To make this convenient for Nixpkgs / NixOS developer, one can run the following command:

```
$ git config --add alias.fetch-channels '!sh -c "$(git rev-parse --show-cdup)maintainers/scripts/update-channel-branches.sh"'
```

Which will register the alias fetch-channels such that the script can used from sub-directory of nixpkgs by running `git fetch-channels`.

1a75958be5 Unify mutableUsers = { true, false } 
With mutableUsers = true, we now ensure that all users and groups that
were created declaratively, are updated or removed
appropriately. Thus, adding a user to users.extraUsers and then
removing it now causes the acoount to be removed from
/etc/passwd. Thus user/group management is fully congruent except that
users and groups that were created imperatively (via useradd/groupadd)
are not touched. We distinguish between declarative and imperative
users/groups by tracking the former in
/var/lib/nixos/declarative-{groups,users}.

With mutableUsers = false, you are now no longer required to specify
UIDs/GIDs for all users. The handling of mutableUsers = true/false is
the same code path; the only difference is that the "false" mode
ignores the existing contents of /etc/{passwd,group}.

The attribute ‘createUser’ is gone. It doesn't really make sense to
specify users that shouldn't be created.
