Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,
making the CI check introduced in the previous commit succeed:
nix-build ci -A fmt.check
This is the next step of the of the [implementation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt/issues/153)
of the accepted [RFC 166](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166).
This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).
Merge conflicts caused by this commit can now automatically be resolved while rebasing using the
[auto-rebase script](8616af08d9/maintainers/scripts/auto-rebase).
If you run into any problems regarding any of this, please reach out to the
[formatting team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/formatting/) by

From hosts(5):
> For each host a single line should be present with the following
> information:
>
> IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]
With lines like "::1 localhost ahost.adomin ahost", we were saying
that the canonical name for "ahost" was "localhost", the opposite of a
canonical name. This is why a second loopback address (127.0.0.2) is
used for hostnames with IPv4 — if they were put after "localhost" on
the 127.0.0.1 line, the same thing would happen. With IPv6 we can't
do the same thing as there's only a single loopback address, so
instead the right thing to do is to simply not list the hostnames in
/etc/hosts, and rely on the myhostname NSS plugin, which will handle
this correctly.
(Note that the examples in hosts(5) also do not include IPv6 FQDN or
hostname entries.)
NixOS currently has issues with setting the FQDN of a system in a way
where standard tools work. In order to help with experimentation and
avoid regressions, add a test that checks that the hostname is
reported as the user wanted it to be.
