This change does two things:
* "NixOSizes" environment variables generation. This allows some more
error-checking and opens possibilities for a modular environment
configuration. From now on the most of environment variables are
generated directly by the nix code. Generating sh code that
generates environment variables is left in a few places where
nontrivial access to a local environment state is needed.
* By doing the first change this patch untangles bash from the
environment configuration and makes it trivial to add a support for
other non bash-compatible shells.
Now to the sad part. This change is quite large (and I'm not sure it's
possible to split it) and yet is not quite complete, it needs some
changes to nixpkgs to be perfect.
See !!! comments in modules/config/shells-environment.nix.
Main principle behind this change is "change environment generation
and nothing else". In particular, shell configuration principles stay
exactly the same as before.
It's really an abstract configuration option that specifies that *some*
SSH daemon should be enabled (which could be OpenSSH).

* Renamed some of the new Grub options to more sensible names
(e.g. extraGrubEntries to extraEntries, bootMount to bootDevice,
etc.).

fetch definitions of oldest options and to add them inside the new option.
Properties are still valid and will not be affected by the renaming. e.g:
with: rename alias "foo.bar" to "baz.quz"
and with the following module:
{
foo.bar = (mkOverride 10 {}) 42;
baz.quz = 21;
}
the result of baz.quz would be 42 because the priority is still working
after the renaming.
