Thomas Strobel cad8957eab Add the tool "nixos-typecheck" that can check an option declaration to:
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
   type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
   and if a "default" attribute is defined.

 - Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
   if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".

 - Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
   the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".

 - Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.

# eager for the current implementation of the assertion mechanism and of the
# licenses control mechanism. That means it is not generally possible to go
# into the attribute set of packages to check that every attribute would
# evaluate to a derivation if the package would actually be evaluated. Maybe
# that restriction can be lifted in the future, but for now the content of
# the packageSet is not checked.
