The networking.virtual test does not work with networkd yet, for
multiple reasons:
- network-online.target is not reached, because tun0 and tap0 are
considered as required for online but _not_ brought up or assigned
the configured addresses
- the commands later in the test rely on some units from the scripted
network setup
cc @fpletz networkd exper
cc @globin we looked at this together
The test has recently been failing due to the IPv6 address
on the server still being in the tentative state, when the
client sends its first request. The server will not start
using the IPv6 address until DAD has completed.
Scripted networking seems not to wait for DAD completion
before completing network-online.target, so let's switch
to networkd instead, which does.
During the last update, `hydra-notify` was rewritten as a daemon which
listens to postgresql notifications for each build[1]. The module
uses the `hydra-notify.service` unit from upstream's Hydra module and
the VM test ensures that email notifications are sent properly.
Also updated `hydra-init.service` to install `pg_trgm` on a local
database if needed[2].

We ship `https://cache.nixos.org` as binary cache by default which
automatically substitutes the test derivation used inside the Hydra
test. However it needs to be built locally to confirm that
`hydra-queue-runner` works properly.
Also inherited the platform name for the test derivation from `system`
to ensure that the build can be tested on each supported platform.

It turned out that /dev/snd/* always exists even if there are no sound
drivers loaded at all. Loading `snd` and `snd_timer` fixes that
situation. It is probably fair to assume someone that wants to use sound
also enables that in the NixOS configuration.
Add support for storing secrets in files outside the nix store, since
files in the nix store are world-readable and secrets therefore can't
be stored safely there.
The old string options are kept, since they can potentially be handy
for testing purposes, but their descriptions now state that they
shouldn't be used in production. The manual section is updated to use
the file options rather than the string options and the tests now test
both.
