This reverts commit 1e543984bcaf5c9e2c26a1b3de86ffa4d9fe7ba3.
This would have been nice if we had had it from the start, but now it
just breaks things for existing users. Maybe we can add it conditionally
when new postgres versions come out.

desktop-manager is a bit misleading in this case as there is no
session yet and most apps are still missing. This can eventually
grow further once more e17 apps get packaged for nix.
However, for now, I need to initialize some e17 dbus services to
have the "terminology" terminal emulator provide gfx previews.
The user should specify which major version to use
(e.g. "services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql92"). We can't
really provide a sensible default, because such a default would have
to be updated from time to time, and there is no automated upgrade
procedure. So leave upgrading to the user.
As @edolstra pointed out, this behavior is not equivalent to what we had
before as the kernel command line parameter won't take effect until the
next boot. Probably it's not likely that someone will make this change
and then add a network card before rebooting, but might as well support
that since we can.

Sometimes nscd starts up before a /etc/resolv.conf file has been written, and
apparently triggering a cache flush (reload) is not good enough to make it
recover from that problem. To remedy the issue, we restart the service instead.
See <https://github.com/NixOS/nixos/issues/34> for further details.
Using /etc/lighttpd.conf "hides" the config file from NixOS so that it
will not automatically restart the service when its config file changes.
So don't do that.
I think it's nice that it first asks the usual password, and then offers the
otpw one if enabled. That enables dovecot to show the last pam prompt.
I also add the dovecot option for that.
Previously we synced just before calling switch-to-configuration.
That prevents corruption of the Nix store, but it can leave the boot
loader configuration and kernel files in /boot corrupted. So do the
sync after installing the boot loader.
Usually timers.target is pulled in by basic.target, but we don't
restart basic.target. So timers.target wouldn't be started when
coming from an older systemd.
This allows Xen (and EC2) to power off an instance properly. We had
this before (see aeb89fc753c6f95c9d143e6f5346f92e4a02fa67), but it got
lost in the systemd migration.
Now that nixUnstable supports remounting in the "/nix/store is a
mountpoint" case, this is no longer necessary.

More specifically, this removes services.pulseaudio and adds the option
hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide which defaults to false but can be used to turn
on the system-wide PulseAudio server (previously defined in
services.pulseaudio). Since the two PulseAudio modes are mutually exclusive
anyway (maybe not strictly true, but I don't think is a good idea combining
them) its nicer to be able to reuse server and ALSA configuration between them.
Also the system-wide PulseAudio service has been adjusted to systemd, and a few
things has been fixed (there was no alsa.conf before, for example).
The bottomline is that people that was using hardware.pulseaudio before should
be able to keep doing it in exactly the same way, and people that used
services.pulseaudio must switch over to hardware.pulseaudio.systemWide instead.
