xorg-server: major bump 1.18.4 -> 1.19.1
I encountered no problems with it.  Nvidia binary drivers are tested,
and AMD ones now both set `abiCompat` to use older server versions.

52c7e647ab postfix service: don't empty local_recipient_maps
From Postfix documentation:

With this setting, the Postfix SMTP server will not reject mail with "User
unknown in local recipient table". Don't do this on systems that receive mail
directly from the Internet. With today's worms and viruses, Postfix will become
a backscatter source: it accepts mail for non-existent recipients and then
tries to return that mail as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender
address.

f5dfe78a1e Add overlays mechanism to Nixpkgs.
This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays".

By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`,
or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`.  If the environment variable does not name a valid directory
then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory.  If the home directory does not exists it will
fallback on an empty list of overlays.

The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the
content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages.  The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links
are used in alphabetical order.

The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like:

```nix
self: super: {
}
```

More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query
the final result of the fix-point.

An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at:
  https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix

To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to
the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.

stdenv/stripHash: print to stdout, not to variable
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.

Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.

Merge pull request #18567 (VirtualBox 5.1.6)
This introduces VirtualBox version 5.1.6 along with a few refactored
stuff, notably:

  * Kernel modules and user space applications are now separate
    derivations.
  * If config.pulseaudio doesn't exist in nixpkgs config, the default is
    now to build with PulseAudio modules.
  * A new updater to keep VirtualBox up to date.

All subtests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix succeed on my machine and
VirtualBox was reported to be working by @DamienCassou (although with
unrelated audio problems for another fix/branch) and @calbrecht.

a6670c1a0b Fixes #18124: atomically replace /var/setuid-wrappers/ (#18186)
Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.

That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.

Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.

Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.

Tested:

- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted
