This patch adds a NixOS test for Limine on BIOS systems. It also fixes
some formatting in `nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix`.

This patch adds the option `virtualisation.useBootPartition` which
creates a separate boot partition on BIOS systems using the new
`legacy+boot` partition layout type in `nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix`.
This patch adds a new partition layout type `"legacy+boot` which will
produce MBR images with a separate FAT32 boot partition. This is
necessary for adding a NixOS test for Limine on BIOS systems, as Limine
can't read ext4 partitions.
Separate it from `feedbackd` for the following reasons:
- Previously the update script did not see this "package" and did not update it
- Now we can run the test suite of `feedbackd-device-themes`
- This allows a user to only change a device theme, while not recompiling `feedbackd`
- Updating only `feedbackd-device-themes` would result in an awkward commit message where we would claim to update a seemingly non-existing package
- Previous commits that updated both `feedbackd` and `feedbackd-device-themes` at the same time did not mention the update to `feedbackd-device-themes` in the title of the commit message
- They are separate projects after all, with the only direct dependency between the two packages existing in the test suite of `feedbackd-device-themes`
- [Most other distributions also package this package](https://repology.org/project/feedbackd-device-themes/versions) separately from feedbackd
We immediately expected for the other peer to be available in the peer
list, right after startup, but that's racy.
Instead try the pinging multiple times until it succeeds (max 10 times),
then check the list of peers for completion.
I was confused why I could not get an emergency access console despite setting systemd.emergencyMode=true.
Turns out there is another similar option `boot.initrd.systemd.emergencyAccess` that I should have used.
This is confusing and this change should make it more clear vie the docs of both these options.
