Following the discussion NixOS#5021:
- obsolete the nix.proxy option
- add the networking.proxy option
- open a default no_proxy environment variable
- add a rsync option
- Manual tests ok.
- Automatic tests ok.
Amended by lethalman to simplify the option descriptions.
This led to the container test failing, which made no sense
whatsoever, until I realized nix-daemon.socket creates the socket
directory as a side effect, which systemd-nspawn then bind-mounts.

If you define a unit, and either systemd or a package in
systemd.packages already provides that unit, then we now generate a
file /etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/overrides.conf. This makes it
possible to use upstream units, while allowing them to be customised
from the NixOS configuration. For instance, the module nix-daemon.nix
now uses the units provided by the Nix package. And all unit
definitions that duplicated upstream systemd units are finally gone.
This makes the baseUnit option unnecessary, so I've removed it.
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.
This reverts commit b792394119.
Starting the manual on tty8 was intended as a convenience during
installation, not as a general purpose thing. In fact, given that w3m
runs as root, this is highly insecure!
This has the nice side-effect of making gpsd actually run!
