xf86-video-intel is now incompatible with the latest Mesa: it may fix
screen tearing, but this is not really worth the other downsides, so we
should stop recommending it.
We recommend `modesetting` unless the GPU is so old to be unsupported,
and mention picom is screen tearing is too bad. Hopefully the next Xorg
release will fix this.
(cherry picked from commit 3faf0171a0)
- rename hardware.opengl to hardware.graphics
- remove hardware.opengl.driSupport, which does nothing
- remove hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath, which should never be done
- rename hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit to hardware.graphics.enable32Bit
- lost of small docs / formatting cleanups
Its possible to install the nvidiaLegacy470 driver for the slightly outdated GPUs, but the documentation only has the hints how to install the drivers for the even older GPUs.
[Motivation](NixOS#257817 (comment))
`extraLayouts` was missed in #259891, so moving it to the other xkb
options with this PR.

[Motivation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/257817#issuecomment-1741705042):
- Having all the XKB options in the same attribute set clarifies their
relation better than using a common option name prefix ("xkb").
- `services.xserver.layout` is an XKB option, but this is not obvious
from its name. Putting it with the other XKB options clarifies this.

This option is based on a recommendation from a page last updated in
2014 (see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/), and it
is not necessary anymore.
Also, it did the wrong thing: it forced DRI2, but Glamor should also
work with DRI3, that is a better option most of the time. So let's
remove this option, folks that still want to force this manually can do
so in other ways.
