nixos/fonts: Add unifont to list of default fonts.
This fixes #10077 because after some debugging it turns out that by
default we don't have a font which is able to display Chinese symbols.

Thanks to @anderspapitto, @kmicu and hyper_ch on IRC to help debugging
this issue, see log at:

With unifont we have a reasonable fallback font to ensure that every
written language is rendered correctly and thus less surprise for new
users who keep their font settings at the default.

57ba2093bf Replace Bitstream Vera fonts by DejaVu in defaults
The default configuration installed the Bitstream Vera fonts, but DejaVu
is a superior replacement, and the default Fontconfig settings need it
now for the generic faces monospace, sans-serif, and serif.

nixos/manual: Use literalExample when feasible.
Should bring most of the examples into a better consistency regarding
syntactic representation in the manual.

Thanks to @devhell for reporting.

e6b5c0121f Obsolete fonts.extraFonts
You can now just set fonts.fonts, which will be merged with the
default value unless you use mkOverride.

29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
