Since nix 2.0 the no-build-hook option was replaced by the builders options
that allows to override remote builders ad-hoc.
Since it is useful to disable remote builders updating nixos without network,
this commit reintroduces the option.
cleanSource does not appear to work correctly in this case. The path
does not get coerced to a string, resulting in a dangling symlink
produced in channel.nix. Not sure why, but this
seems to fix it.
Fixes#51025.

This adds a NixOS option for setting the CPU max and min frequencies
with `cpufreq`. The two options that have been added are:
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.max`
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.min`
It also adds an alias to the `powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor` option as
`powerManagement.cpufreq.governor`. This updates the installer to use
the new option name. It also updates the manual with a note about
the new name.
This, paired with the previous commit, ensures the channel won't be held
back from a kernel upgrade and a non-building sd image, while still
having a new-kernel variant available.

b Batch mode. Optimized for huge recursive copies, but less secure if a crash happens during the copy.
```
It seems the "less secure if a crash happens" does not need a crash to
happen.
With batch mode:
```
/[...]/.
Start (0) does not point to parent (___)
```
For pretty much everything copied in.
Without batch mode, everything passes `fsck`.
See #51150

Previously I got the following error message:
```
error: opening file '/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/default.nix': No such file or directory
```
Probably related to 6c68fbd4e1.
This reverts commit 10addad603, reversing
changes made to 7786575c6c.
NixOS scripts should be kept in the NixOS source tree, not in
pkgs. Moving them around is just confusing and creates unnecessary
code/history churn.
Move all the nixos-* scripts from the nixos distribution as real
packages in the pkgs/ package set.
This allows non-nixos users to run the script as well. For example,
deploying a remote machine with:
nixos-rebuild --target-host root@hostname --build-host root@hostname
The system variable is used from the (possibly polluted) shell
environment.
This causes nixos-install to fail in a nix-shell because the system
shell variable is automatically set to the current system (e.g.
x86_64-linux).
The problem was that the non-fatal warning was not omitted
from the output when constructing a nix expression.
Now it seems OK for me. When return code is OK,
the warnings don't get passed anywhere, but I expect
that won't matter for this utility. Fatal errors are still shown.
Because when I see "config.system.build.manual.manual" after I forgot
what it means I ask "Why do I need that second `.manual` there again?".
Doesn't happen with `config.system.build.manual.manualHTML`.
