The toplevel derivations of systems that have `networking.hostName`
set to `""` (because they want their hostname to be set by DHCP) used
to be all named
`nixos-system-unnamed-${config.system.nixos.label}`.
This makes them hard to distinguish.
A similar problem existed in NixOS tests where `vmName` is used in the
`testScript` to refer to the VM. It defaulted to the
`networking.hostName` which when set to `""` won't allow you to refer
to the machine from the `testScript`.
This commit makes the `system.name` configurable. It still defaults to:
```
if config.networking.hostName == ""
then "unnamed"
else config.networking.hostName;
```
but in case `networking.hostName` needs to be to `""` the
`system.name` can be set to a distinguishable name.
This is analogous to #70447.

This is required by (among others) Podman to run containers in rootless mode.
Other distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu already set up these mappings.
The scheme with a start UID/GID offset starting at 100000 and increasing in 65536 increments is copied from Fedora.

Without this, systemd-boot does not add an EFI boot entry for itself.
The reason it worked before this fix is because it would fall back to
the default installed \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
boot.loader.grub.device` was hardcoded to `bootDevice`, which is
wrong, because that's the device for `/`, and with `useBootLoader`
the boot loader is not on that device.
This bug probably came into existence because of bad naming;
`virtualisation.bootDevice` has description
"The disk to be used for the root filesystem", which is very confusing;
it should be `.rootDevice` then!
Unfortunately, the description is right and the attribute name is wrong,
so it is not easy to change this without deprecation.
This commit ensures that even if you use `useBootLoader` and
`diskInterface == "scsi"`, the created VM can boot through, and can run
`nixos-rebuild afterwards.
It also adds extra commentary to explain what's going on in this module
in general in relation to `useBootLoader`.
VMSGVA is recommended by virtualbox for Linux clients.
Compared to VBoxVGA and VBoxSVGA it also supports 3D acceleration.
Adding the driver makes nixos work with all three supported graphics card
types.
xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
- Update the default pause image
- Set the cgroup manager to systemd
- Enable `manage_ns_lifecycle` instead of the deprecated
`manage_network_ns_lifecycle` option
