The systemd.tmpfiles.settings.<name>.<path>.<type>.argument option may
contain arbitrary strings. This could allow intentional or unintentional
introduction of new configuration lines.
The argument field cannot be quoted, C‐style \xNN escape sequences are
however permitted. By escaping whitespace and newline characters, the
issue can be mitigated.
Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,

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

Previously, all generations for the primary system profile
read their data from the currently active one rather than
their own path, and specialisations in general all used
their parent bootspec rather than their own. This fixes both issues.
This commit still uses the parent path's build date for
specialisations, but this is more minor issue and the times
shouldn't be meaningfully different in most cases anyways.
Some upstream systemd units are conditionally installed into the systemd
output, so we must make sure the feature that enables their installation
is enabled on our side prior to trying to use them.
tracefs is a special-purpose filesystem in Linux used for tracing filesystem and kernel operations.
This was added to the kernel back in 2015 to replace debugfs. For security reasons, some system do not mount debugfs at all. Tracefs reduces the attack surface by allowing to trace without mounting debugfs. Additionally it provides features not supported by debugfs (such as calls for mkdir and rmdir
Debian and Arch Linux both enable this by default.
RHEL 8 and later, they enable tracefs by default.

Closes#381822
Apparently, I swapped `path` and `tmpfiles-type` in
2be50b1efe. Sorry about that 🫠
Also giving
`systemd.tmpfiles.settings.<config-name>.<path>.<tmpfiles-type>.type` a
better default in the manual than `‹name›`, i.e. `‹tmpfiles-type›` so
that it corresponds to the placeholders in the attribute path.
