This commit changes the console colors implementation
to use the kernel parameters instead of relying on terminal
escape sequences. This means the palette is applied by the
kernel itself with no custom code running in the initrd
and works for all virtual terminals (not only tty0).
This commit moves all the virtual console related options
to a dedicated config/console.nix NixOS module.
Currently most of these are defined in config/i18n.nix
with a "console" prefix like `i18n.consoleFont`,
`i18n.consoleColors` or under `boot` and are implemented
in tasks/kbd.nix.
Since they have little to do with actual internationalisation
and are (informally) in an attrset already, it makes sense to
move them to a specific module.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
This PR is part of the networking.* namespace cleanup. We feel that
networking.hostConf is rarely used and provides little value compared to
using environment.etc."host.conf" directly.
Provide sensible default: multi on
This is a more sane default since we do not magically (without opt-in)
pull in binaries from `~/bin`. That is not really an expected behavior
for many users. Users that still want that behavior can now just flip
that switch.

The Cisco VPN module is currently of limited value since it just creates
config files but does not manage services. The same functionality can be
achieved by using _environment.etc_ instead.
It would be a different situation if we had a full service module. So if
you are annoyed by this change, please consider write a more featureful
module and put its options unter _services.networking.vpnc_.
Note that this change removes options for *Cisco VPN*, not
*networkmanager-vpn*.
This fixes user environment setup for sessions which doesn't successfully go
through a shell init.
Note we don't go through `sessionVariables` as we want the wrappers to have
highest priority. It would also cause wrapperDir to occur twice when in shell
sessions, as shells use `sessionVariables` too while prepending wrapperDir in a
custom snippet.
In particular logging in and out of gnome-shell could result in a broken path
without this fix.
This enlarges the system uid/gid range 6-fold, from 100 to 600 ids. This
is a preventative measure against running out of dynamically allocated
ids for NixOS services with isSystemUser, which should become the
preferred way of allocating uids for non-real users.
We were only replacing them in the profiles. We also need to do this in
the values of variables, including both the session-relative variables
and the non-session-relative variables.
In fontconfig’s 60-generic.conf, order of preference is estabilished for emoji
font family. Because fontconfig parses the config files in lexicographic order,
appending each <prefer> from <alias> element to the family’s prefer list
(to be prepended before the family) [1], our font family defaults stored
in 52-nixos-default-fonts.conf will take precedence. That is, of course, unless
the default „weak“ binding [2] is used. Emoji family binds strongly [3],
so we need to set binding to “same” for our <alias>es to be considered before
the ones from 60-generic.conf.
By default, we will set the option to all emoji fonts supported by fontconfig,
so that emoji works for user if they have at least one emoji font installed.
If they have multiple emoji fonts installed, we will use the fontconfig’s
order of preference [4].

It currently lacks an emoji font-family which means it has to be
disabled for them to function [0]. Additionally it's fallen out of
necessity to ship custom font rendering settings (as far as I'm aware
of).
