Without this, you can change the list of appended or prepended nameservers in
your NetworkManager config, and nixos-rebuild doesn't cause those changes to
come into effect.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Incorrect merging of modules resulted in dhcpcd being enabled causing flaky network connection.

Fixing it uncovered an infinite recursion from the same commit, previously masked by the incorrect merge.
We can just drop the `mkDefault` for `networking.wireless.enable` as it is already `false` by default.
Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/72416
This option was removed because allowing (multiple) regular users to
override host entries affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack
vector. There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful.
Consider setting system-wide host entries using networking.hosts,
provide them via the DNS server in your network, or use
networking.networkmanager.appendNameservers to point your system to
another (local) nameserver to set those entries.
Otherwise connecting simply fails:
VPN connection: failed to connect: 'La création du fichier « /tmp/lib/NetworkManager-fortisslvpn/0507e3ef-f0e0-4153-af64-b3d9a025877c.config.XSB19Z » a échoué : No such file or directory'
This introduces an option wifi.backend to the networkmanager module.

These are the leftovers of an older PR.
a. Send messages to auditd if auditing is enabled.
b. Add missing dbus configuration if dnsmasq is used for DNS
Fixes problems such as:
systemd[1]: Failed to put bus name to hashmap: File exists
systemd[1]: dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service: Two services allocated for the same bus name org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher, refusing operation.
Problem is that systemd treats symlinks to files outside the service
path differently, causing our old workaround to look like two separate services.
These symlinks are intended to be a means for manually emulating
the behavior of the `Alias=` directive in these services.
Unfortunately even making these symlinks relative isn't enough,
since they don't make it to where it matters--
that only makes the links in /etc/static/systemd/system/*
relative, with systemd still being shown non-relative links
in /etc/systemd/system/*.
To fix this, drop all of this at the package level
and instead simply specify the aliases in the NixOS modules.
Also handle the same for modemmanager,
since the networkmanager NixOS module also handles that.

When NetworkManager is configured to not manage all interfaces, it's
perfectly fine to have the rest be managed by the standard nixos
wireless scripts.
I use
networking.networkmanager.unmanaged = [
"*" "except:type:wwan" "except:type:gsm"
];
to control everything using networking.wireless except for the mobile
LTE modem which only works with NetworkManager.
This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
Add an option to set the rc-manager parameter in NetworkManager.conf,
which controls how NetworkManager handles resolv.conf. This sets the
default rc-manager to "resolvconf", which solves #61490. It
additionally allows the user to change rc-manager without interference
from configuration activations.
Compatibility with other distributions/software and expectation
of users coming from other systems should have higher priority over consistency.
In particular this fixes#51375, where the NetworkManager-wait-online.service
broke as a result of this.
