Due to the support of the systemd-logind API the udev rules aren't
required anymore which renders this module useless [0].
Note: brightnessctl should now require a working D-Bus setup and a valid
local logind session for this to work.

This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but
they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto
is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam
rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
On numerous occasions I have seen users mistake this
module as libinput because it being called "multitouch"
and them being unaware that the actually module they want
is libinput. They then run into several decrepit bugs due
to the completely out-of-date nature of the underlying package.
The underlying package hasn't been changed to an up-to-date
fork in a period of 8 years. I don't consider this to be production quality.
However, I'm not opposed for the module being readded to NixOS
with new packaging, and a better name.
As of 2020-01-09, way-cooler is officially dead:

hence, remove the package and the module.

A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
This PR is part of the networking.* namespace cleanup. We feel that
networking.hostConf is rarely used and provides little value compared to
using environment.etc."host.conf" directly.
Provide sensible default: multi on

ssmtp used to be configured via `networking.defaultMailServer` which is
sort of misleading since it provides options only for ssmtp. Other
dumb mail relays like nullmailer have always been living under
services.
The intent of this PR is to align ssmtp's options with those of similar
services. Specifically, two renames have been done:
* Rename `networking.defaultMailHost` to `services.ssmtp`.
* Rename `directDelivery` to `enable` because this is what it basically does.
osquery was marked as broken since April.
If somebody steps up to fix it, we can always revive it from the
histroy, but there's not much value in shipping completely broken things
in current master.

As part of the networking.* name space cleanup, connman should be moved
to services.connman. The same will happen for example with
networkmanager in a separate PR.

The Cisco VPN module is currently of limited value since it just creates
config files but does not manage services. The same functionality can be
achieved by using _environment.etc_ instead.
It would be a different situation if we had a full service module. So if
you are annoyed by this change, please consider write a more featureful
module and put its options unter _services.networking.vpnc_.
Note that this change removes options for *Cisco VPN*, not
*networkmanager-vpn*.
The redis module currently fails to start up, most likely due to running
a chown as non-root in preStart.
While at it, I hardcoded it to use systemd's StateDirectory and
DynamicUser to manage directory permissions, removed the unused
appendOnlyFilename option, and the pidFile option.
We properly tell redis now it's daemonized, and it'll use notify support
to signal readiness.
* nixos/acme: Fix ordering of cert requests
When subsequent certificates would be added, they would
not wake up nginx correctly due to target units only being triggered
once. We now added more fine-grained systemd dependencies to make sure
nginx always is aware of new certificates and doesn't restart too early
resulting in a crash.
Furthermore, the acme module has been refactored. Mostly to get
rid of the deprecated PermissionStartOnly systemd options which were
deprecated. Below is a summary of changes made.
* Use SERVICE_RESULT to determine status
This was added in systemd v232. we don't have to keep track
of the EXITCODE ourselves anymore.
* Add regression test for requesting mutliple domains
* Deprecate 'directory' option
We now use systemd's StateDirectory option to manage
create and permissions of the acme state directory.
* The webroot is created using a systemd.tmpfiles.rules rule
instead of the preStart script.
* Depend on certs directly
By getting rid of the target units, we make sure ordering
is correct in the case that you add new certs after already
having deployed some.
Reason it broke before: acme-certificates.target would
be in active state, and if you then add a new cert, it
would still be active and hence nginx would restart
without even requesting a new cert. Not good! We
make the dependencies more fine-grained now. this should fix that
* Remove activationDelay option
It complicated the code a lot, and is rather arbitrary. What if
your activation script takes more than activationDelay seconds?
Instead, one should use systemd dependencies to make sure some
action happens before setting the certificate live.
e.g. If you want to wait until your cert is published in DNS DANE /
TLSA, you could create a unit that blocks until it appears in DNS:
```
RequiredBy=acme-${cert}.service
After=acme-${cert}.service
ExecStart=publish-wait-for-dns-script
```
This is a refactor of how resolvconf is managed on NixOS. We split it
into a separate service which is enabled internally depending on whether
we want /etc/resolv.conf to be managed by it. Various services now take
advantage of those configuration options.
We also now use systemd instead of activation scripts to update
resolv.conf.
NetworkManager now uses the right option for rc-manager DNS
automatically, so the configuration option shouldn't be exposed.
