Before this patch, code like this would break generate invalid XML:
lib.generators.toPlist {} "ab<cd"
That's obviously bad, since the call to toPlist often happens through
indirection, as is the case in e.g. the nix-darwin project. A user might
not realize that they have to escape the strings.
This patch adds the argument 'escape' to lib.generators.plist and emits
a warning if it is not set to true. In a future release, this behavior
should become the default.
I have also added a note for future maintainers, in case I forget to
actually remove the deprecated functionality in a future release.
Include the system string in the error message to give a bit more context to
the user.

After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using
nix-build a08b3a4d19.tar.gz \
