In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/100119 pantheon's greeter
has g-s-d running which allows brightness controls via pkexec.
This is changed in newer versions of g-s-d (pantheon uses a fork currently),
but whenever brightness is changed with a shell of `shadow` we get
```
Oct 10 23:51:44 kirXps pkexec[18722]: lightdm: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/var/lib/lightdm] [COMMAND=/run/current-system/sw/bin/elementary-settings-daemon/gsd-backlight-helper /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight 65587]
```
I'm not sure this should be strictly needed, so we should try to
revert later on when pantheon's g-s-d is updated.
Nginx fails to start, because it can't read the certificate file. This
happens because PrivateTmp is set for the service, which makes the
system wide /tmp inaccessible.
When I test a change e.g. in the module system manually, I usually use
`nixos-build-vms(8)` which also gives me a QEMU window where I can play
around in the freshly built VM.
It seems as this has changed recently when the default package for
non-interactive VM tests using the same framework was switched to
`pkgs.qemu_test` to reduce the closure size. While this is a reasonable
decision for our CI tests, I think that you really want a QEMU window of
the VM by default when using `nixos-build-vms(8)`.

Instead of putting a README in the directory where the manual is
written, put the information from it straight in the docs themselves.
It's a bit untrivial to guess the manual is located exactly there for
contributers.
This should NOT be backported to 20.09!
When 21.03 is released, the DB changes are about a year old and
operators had two release cycles for the upgrade. At this point it
should be fair to remove the compat layer to reduce the complexity of
the module itself.
The `curve25519-sha256` key exchange method is defined in RFC 8731 that
is identical to curve25519-sha256@libssh.org. OpenSSH supports the
method since version 7.4, released on 2016-12-19. It is literally a
violation of the "both in Secure Secure Shell and Mozilla guidelines"
rule, but it provides essentially the same but a future-proof default.
Also, links to the Mozilla OpenSSH guidelines are updated to refer to
the current place.

In commit a61ca0373b63225e3aa00556c8fc1fb36abcbe3e (#100267), the avahi
test expression got an additional attribute, but instead of wrapping the
function, the attributes were introduced by nesting the function one
level deeper.
To illustrate this:
Before: attrs: <testdrv>
After: newattrs: attrs: <testdrv>
So when instantiating tests.avahi.x86_64-linux from nixos/release.nix we
get "value is a function while a set was expected" instead of the
derivation.
I simply re-passed the attributes to make-test-python.nix, since the
function already allows (via "...") arbitrary attributes to be passed.
The reason why I'm pushing this directly to master is because evaluation
for the test is already broken and the worst that could happen here is
that things are *still* broken.

For a lot of the work the non-interactive drivers are enough and it is
probably a good idea to keep it accessible for debugging without
touching the Nix expression.
Since we previously stripped down the features of `qemu_test` some of
the features users are used to while running tests through the (impure)
driver didn't work anymore. Most notably we lost support for graphical
output and audio. With this change the `driver` attribute uses are more
feature complete version of QEmu compared to the one used in the pure
Nix builds.
This gives us the best of both worlds. Users are able to see the
graphical windows of VMs while CI and regular nix builds do not have to
download all the (unnecessary) dependencies.
