This reverts commit d170c98d13.
niksnut argues that we need smaller system closures, not bigger.
So users facing the trouble of getting gcc rebuilds after nix-collect-garbage
for any minimal nixos configuration change should use other means of
not losing the stdenv output.
One way is to keep one somewhere: nix-build -A stdenv -o stdenv '<nixpkgs>'.
Another may be to use nix.conf options like gc-keep-outputs, gc-keep-derivations
or env-keep-derivations.
This will help a lot on ARM, where nix-collect-garbage erases gcc; then, any
change to a small system config file requires rebuilding gcc again.
I don't know why it does not happen on x86. Maybe it just pulls the gcc from
hydra, if garbage is collected.
It boots, but some things still don't work:
1) Installation of DTBs
2) Boot of initrd
Booting still needs a proper config.txt in /boot, which could probably be
managed by NixOS.
During the refactor of the networkd stuff in f8dbe5f, a lot of the
options are now needed by systemd.nix as well as networkd.nix but
weren't moved by that commit as well.
For now, this fixes all networkd VM tests except for the macvlan one and
thus it should fix#7505 for at least DHCP-based configuration.

In f8dbe5f, the default value for networking unit "enabled" option
suddenly flipped to false. I have no idea of whether this happened by
accident, but I'm setting it to true again, because it essentially
breaks systemd networking support and we have systemd.network.enable to
have a "turn the world off" switch.
And of course, because the mentioned commit obviously wasn't done with
even a run of the simplest run of one of the network VM tests, we now
get an evaluation error if we switch useNetworkd to true.
Fixes the core issue of #7505.

Otherwise, the enabled -> disabled transition won't be handled
correctly (switch-to-configuration currently assumes that if a unit is
running and exists, it should be restarted).
Many bus clients get hopelessly confused when dbus-daemon is
restarted. So let's not do that.
Of course, this is not ideal either, because we end up stuck with a
possibly outdated dbus-daemon. But that issue will become irrelevant
in the glorious kdbus-based future.
Hopefully this also gets rid of systemd getting stuck after
dbus-daemon is restarted:

The nixbld group doesn't need read permission, it only needs write and
execute permission.

Since we restart all active target units (of which there are many),
it's hard to see the units that actually matter. So don't print that
we're starting target units that are already active.
‘nixos-rebuild dry-activate’ builds the new configuration and then
prints what systemd services would be stopped, restarted etc. if the
configuration were actually activated. This could be extended later to
show other activation actions (like uids being deleted).
To prevent confusion, ‘nixos-rebuild dry-run’ has been renamed to
‘nixos-rebuild dry-build’.
The PID 1 shell is executed as the last command in a sh invocation. Some
shells implicitly use exec for that, but the current busybox ash does not,
so the shell gets a wrong PID. Spell out the exec.
When gummiboot.timeout == null, the menu will still be skipped.
When gummiboot.timeout == 0, the menu will also be skipped.
The only way to show the menu 'indefinitely' is to show it a long time.
