Some time ago I fixed the broken package `osquery` (see #39336).
I had to test the package manually by starting the daemon locally,
however this doesn't ensure that the module is still functional.
In order to cover the package *and* the integration with the NixOS
module I thought that adding a testcase might be the best idea.
The current testcase does the following things:
* Starts an `osqueryd` service in a test machine with customized logger
path and PID file
* Ensures that the `osqueryd.service` unit is running
* Checks if the customized flags (`pidfile`, `logger_path`) are applied
to `osquery`.
* Performs a simple test query against the `etc_hosts` database to check
if the basic funcitonality of `osquery` (storing system information into
a database) works fine.
The package is broken on master for some time now:
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk-combined/nixpkgs.notary.x86_64-linux/all
The main reason for the breackage is that the `Makefile` script attempts
to retrieve the latest git commit by using `git rev-parse` which breaks
as `git` is not in the build environment. This could be fixed by using
`?=` rather than `:=` for the `GITCOMMIT` variable in the `make` script
to easily override `GITCOMMIT` in the `buildPhase`.
See the Hydra logs for reference:
https://nix-cache.s3.amazonaws.com/log/ib4qp8h4r8d830ra4fah38l7ybb82gp7-notary-0.6.0.drv
Furthermore some refactoring was applied:
* Activated the test suite for `cmd/notary` to confirm the basic
functionality when building for NixOS.
* Added {pre,post} hooks for `{build,install}Phase`
* Added myself as maintainer to have more people available in case of
further breakage.
The ability to specify "-drive if=scsi" has been removed in QEMU version
2.12 (introduced in 3e3b39f173).

So whenever the diskInterface is "scsi" we use the new way to specify
the drive and fall back to the deprecated way for the time being. The
reason why I'm not using the new way for "virtio" and "ide" as well is
because there is no simple generic way anymore to specify these.
This also turns the type of the virtualisation.qemu.diskInterface option
to be an enum, so the user knows which values are allowed but we can
also make sure the right value is provided to prevent typos.
I've tested this against a few non-disk-related NixOS VM tests but also
the installer.grub1 test (because it uses "ide" as its drive interface),
the installer.simple test (just to be sure it still works with
"virtio") and all the tests in nixos/tests/boot.nix.
In order to be able to run the grub1 test I had to go back to
8b1cf100cd (which is a known commit where
that test still works) and apply the QEMU update and this very commit,
because right now the test is broken.
Apart from the tests here in nixpkgs, I also ran another[1] test in
another repository which uses the "scsi" disk interface as well (in
comparison to most of the installer tests, this one actually failed
prior to this commit).
All of them now succeed.

The usb_add and usb_del monitor commands have been removed in QEMU
version 2.12 (introduced in 3e3b39f173).

So we're doing exactly that and the udisks2 test now works again.
