Turns out all variants of start.elf and fixup.dat are needed (depending
on what's in config.txt). I was under the mistaken impression that you
were supposed to rename one of the variants to switch using them, but
nope.

Consult available scaling governors; for freshly generated configs, this provides a better experience than relying on a default that might not work everywhere.
The profile minimal has several drawbacks: no man pages, unusual 'dbus'
lib that makes many X11 pieces to rebuild, etc.
With xz compression in the squashfs, despite these additions, the iso is
smaller than what it was in 16.09.
This needs to be included for VirtualBox to detect that it needs to start the video driver. "modesetting" is also set in virtualbox-image.nix but this line seems to take precedence over that one (even though the virtualbox-image.nix has a higher override?) This should fix the problems that I and a few others have been having with the .ova files built for nixos.org.
Fixes#20007.
`startAt = ""` as in `startAt = optionalString false ...` results
in an invalid timer unit (due to "" being promoted to a singleton
list and not filtered out).

Since some changes to the setuid wrappers, there is a symlink involved
and it doesn't resolve correctly inside the chroot. Do the check inside
the chroot to make it work again.
This partially reverts commit 0aa7520670.
Fine for rsync to be in system path but we still need the explicit path
in nixos-install in case it is invoked from non-NixOS systems and also
to fix OVA test failure

This reverts commit 582313bafe.
Removing rsync is actually pointless because nixos-install depends on
it. So if it's part of the system closure, we may as well provide it
to users.
Probably with the next Nix release we can drop the use of rsync and
use "nix copy" instead.
Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.
That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.
Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.
Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.
Tested:
- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted
