Simon Hollingshead d077cd8691 nixos/auto-upgrade: add system.autoUpgrade.fixedRandomDelay
From systemd 247, timers can be configured to randomize their delay
once and to apply the same random delay for all future executions.
This allows users to have less jitter between auto-upgrade executions
while still avoiding multiple timers firing simultaneously on a
machine or multiple machines all performing their upgrades
simultaneously.

The default option value (false) is backwards compatible.

All supported versions of NixOS (in fact, back to and including 21.05)
use systemd 247 or later.

Takes a boolean argument. If true, the time when the service
unit was last triggered is stored on disk. When the timer is
activated, the service unit is triggered immediately if it
would have been triggered at least once during the time when
the timer was inactive. Such triggering is nonetheless
subject to the delay imposed by RandomizedDelaySec=. This is
useful to catch up on missed runs of the service when the
system was powered down.
