The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are
bound to be better tested than `fdisk`.
This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the
`fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected.

Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes.
In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been
made, allowing better deep linking.
While it seemingly brings more attention to the macOS notes with the
default docbook template, it better represents which parts of the
section are about macOS, and which parts are simply in the flow of the
text; otherwise the last paragraph may be lost into the details for
macOS.
From commit b63f65aea0:
I used tmpfiles.d instead of activation snippets to create the logs.
It's good enough for upstream and other distros; it's probably good
enough for us.
The "reboot-wtmp" subtest fails because it it assumes that there is a
reboot record even on the initial boot. This is only the case if wtmp is
created within the activation script, but the implementation now uses
tmpfiles.d, so the creation of the file is done at a much later stage.
Apart from that, if you think about the state after the installation as
"first boot", using the term "reboot" wouldn't probably make sense
either.
So in our subtest, we now reboot the machine and check the wtmp record
afterwards as we did before.

darwin.security_tool is currently broken in Mojave. See issue #45042
for more info. Our security_tool stuff comes from 10.9 so I suspect
that it needs an update.
Here I am putting in a hack to get things working again. This uses the
system provided security binary at /usr/bin/security to avoid the
issue in Haskell’s x509-system package. Unfortunately, this will break
with the sandbox. I am also working on a proper fix, but this requires
updating lots of Apple stuff (and also copumpkin’s new CF). You can
follow the progress on this branch:

This commit should be backported to release-18.03 and release-18.09.

This is necessary when system-wide dconf settings must be configured, i.e. to
disable GDM's auto-suspending of the machine when no user is logged in.
