`rngd` seems to be the root cause for slow boot issues, and its functionality is
redundant since kernel v3.17 (2014), which introduced a `krngd` task (in kernel
space) that takes care of pulling in data from hardware RNGs:

> This can be viewed as the in-kernel equivalent of hwrngd;
> like FUSE it is a good thing to have a mechanism in user land,
> but for some reasons (simplicity, secrecy, integrity, speed)
> it may be better to have it in kernel space.

> This patch creates a thread once a hwrng registers, and uses

> its data to the input pool as long as needed. A derating factor
> is used to bias the entropy estimation and to disable this
> mechanism entirely when set to zero.
Closes: #96067
Now allows applying external overlays either in form of
.dts file, literal dts context added to store or precompiled .dtbo.
If overlays are defined, kernel device-trees are compiled with '-@'
so the .dtb files contain symbols which we can reference in our
overlays.
Since `fdtoverlay` doesn't respect `/ compatible` by itself
we query compatible strings of both `dtb` and `dtbo(verlay)`
and apply only if latter is substring of the former.
Also adds support for filtering .dtb files (as there are now nearly 1k
dtbs).

The commit enforces buildPackages in the builder but neglects
the fact that the builder is intended to run on the target system.
Because of that, the builder will fail when remotely building a
configuration eg. with nixops or nix-copy-closure.
This reverts commit a6ac6d00f98c7cc814008c1e6e288feaa2e123c6.
Following changes in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91092 the `path` attribute is now a list
instead of being a string. This resulted resulted in the following evaluation error:
"cannot coerce a list to a string, at [...]/nixos/modules/services/networking/openvpn.nix:16:18"
so we now need to convert it to the right type ourselves.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/97360.
Add the option `environmentFile` to allow passing secrets to the service
without adding them to the Nix store, while keeping the current
configuration via the existing environment file intact.
readd perl (used in shell scripts), rsync (needed for NixOps) and strace (common debugging tool)
they where previously removed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/91213

xss-lock needs XDG_SESSION_ID to respond to loginctl lock-session(s)
(and possibly other session operations such as idle hint management).
This change adds XDG_SESSION_ID to the list of imported environment
variables when starting systemctl.
Inspired by home-manager, add importVariables configuration.
Set session to XDG_SESSION_ID when running xss-lock as a service.
