24abe2b2b3 Bumblebee config to enable multiple monitors
Added configurations to `bumblebee` package to easy multiple monitors on Optimus
machines.

The behaviour of the default `bumblebee` package hasn't change, so this change
is backwards compatible. Users who want to connect a monitor to their discrete
card should use the package `bumblebee_display` instead.

Also added new configuration option to nixos bumblebee module:

```
hardware.bumblebee.connectDisplay = true
```

will enable the new configuration, but the default is still false.

b2f3e10a35 Add primus and extend bumblebee to support 32bit/64bit multilib architectures.
Using primusrun will work as expected in a multilib environment. Even if the initial program
executes a antoehr program of the another architecture. Assuming the program does not modify
LD_LIBRARY_PATH inappropriately.

This does not update virtualgl for seemless multilib. I was unable to get a mixed 64/32 bit
environment to work with VirtualGL. The mechanism VirtualGL uses to inject the fake GL library would
fail if both 32bit and 64 bit libraries were in the environment. Instead the bumblebee package
creates a optirun32 executable that can be used to run a 32bit executable with optimus on a 64 bit
host. This is not created if the host is 32bit.

For my usage, gaming under wine, the primusrun executable works as expected regardless of
32bit/64bit.

e4436ad841 FONTCONFIG_FILE: remove setters to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
Any reasonably new version of fontconfig does search that path by default,
and setting this globally causes problems, as 2.10 and 2.11 need
incompatible configs.

Tested: slim+xfce desktop, chrootenv-ed steam.
I have no idea why we were setting the global variable;
e.g., neither Fedora nor Ubuntu does that.

fe38031168 Upgrade bumblebee and add nixos module
* Bump bumblebee to 3.2.1
 * Remove config.patch - options it added can be passed to ./configure now
 * Remove the provided xorg.conf
   Provided xorg.conf was causing problems for some users,
   and Bumblebee provides its own default configuration anyway.
 * Make secondary X11 log to /var/log/X.bumblebee.log
 * Add a module for bumblebee

3f1054b1ec Added 'bumblebee', a package that facilitates NVidia Optimus graphics with X11.
Note: it relies heavily on 'virtualgl'. This also makes the approach taken
by bumblebee not very effective.
So, this package is actually mainly useful for shutting down your card so that
it does not consume power/produce heat.

See the comments in bumblebee/default.nix
