This commit adds a function `mkAliasOptionModuleWithPriority`. This function will make an alias to an existing option and copy over the priority. This functionality is needed for PRs like #53041. In that case `nixos-generate-config` added an option to `hardware-configuration.nix` with `mkDefault`. That option was then changed and an alias created for the old name. The end user should be able to set the non-alias option in their `configuration.nix` and have everything work correctly. Without this function, the priority for the option won't be copied over correctly and the end-user will get a message saying they have the same option set to two different values. |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
