If you power off your machine frequently, you could miss the execution
of some snapshots.
This is more troublesome the more infrequently the snapshots are
triggered. For example, monthly snapshots only execute at exactly
midnight on the first day of the month. If you only have your
machine powered on at that time with probability 50%, then half the
snapshots won't be triggered.
This means that if you wanted to keep 3 monthly snapshots, then instead
of keeping 3 months' worth of snapshotted data as you expected, you would
end up with snapshots spanning back 6 months.
Adding the "Persistent = yes" option to auto-snapshot timer units makes
a missed snapshot execute when booting up the machine.
Otherwise, in certain cases, snapshots of infrequently-modified
filesystems can be kept for a much longer time than the user would
normally expect, and cause a large amount of extra disk space to be
consumed.
Also added flag to snapshot filesystems in parallel by default.
I've also added a configuration option for zfs-auto-snapshot flags, so
that the user can override them.
For example, the user may want to append --utc to the list of default
options, so that the snapshot names don't cause name conflicts or
apparent time reversals due to daylight savings or timezone changes.
Fixes the useless collisions in the system path.
The 64bit and 32bit variants have the same files, hence
it's pointless to put the 32bit pulseaudio in systemPackages.
The nixbld group doesn't need read permission, it only needs write and
execute permission.

Rather than using openssl to hash the password at build time, and hence
leaving the plaintext password world-readable in the nix store, we can
instead hash the password in the nix expression itself using
builtins.hashString.
This patch resolves all uid/gid conflicts except for nobody/nogroup (seems
to make sense that these are the same).
All conflicts where determined mechanically, but resolutions were manual.
This patch also marks uids/gids with no corresponding group/user as "unused"
(aka. reserved).
Briefly,
- tss group conflicts with dhcpcd
The tss group id conflicts with dhcpcd: assign
a new number and add a corresponding tss user.
- elasticsearch uid conflicts with haproxy gid
- resolve firebird/munin conflict
- fix fourstorehttp{,d} typo
- fix ghostOne typo: the service module refers to gids.ghostone, so use that
in ids
- memcached uid conflicts with users gid
- nagios uid conflicts with disks gid
- nscd uid conflicts with wheel gid
- ntp uid conflicts with tty gid
- resolve postfix/postdrop id uid
- redis uid conflicts with keys gid
- sshd uid conflicts with kmem gid
- tcryptd uid conflicts with openldap gid
- unifi uid conflicts with docker gid
- uptimed uid conflicts with utmp gid
- zope2 uid conflicts with connman gid
- tomcat uid/gid mismatch
- forgotten mousepad update, including some wrapping magic
- dealing with panel plugins (either fix or mark as broken)

- remove some libxfcegui4 occurrences, as it's being phased out
- minor stuff
By making askPassword an option, desktop environment modules can
override the default x11_ssh_askpassword with their own equivalent for
better integration. For example, KDE 5 uses plasma5.ksshaskpass instead.
