Support for ZFS, while desirable, is problematic with newer kernel
releases. The stable ZFS release seldom supports the current newest
kernel version, and this makes the new_kernel image basically useless as
it cannot be published, and is not often built with new kernel releases.
This uses a dirty workaround to work around the fact it is impossible to
remove a list item from a modules system list type. Since ZFS support is
conditional to being supported on the current platform, we can fake ZFS
not being supported *for the no-zfs build only*. This overlay is only
added when evaluating the image, nothing else.

Stderr does not exist as a systemd option (StandardError would've been
correct), but since "journal" is the default by association this mistake
never had any effect. just remove the key entirely.
To reduce size, stage 1 (the initrd) is populated by copying specific
binaries in, then copying the libraries specifically needed by those
binaries. `patchelf` is then used to make the binaries search in the
directory where these libraries are copied to instead of their original
store paths.
Some filesystems (e.g. ZFS) do not guarantee that copying the same files
in the same order into a given directory will result in `find` returning
them in any particular order (though the order appears consistent so
long as the directory is not modified).
Therefore, when the binaries are scanned for libraries to copy in, they
might be scanned in a different order each time the derivation is built.
If two binaries need two different libraries with the same name, then a
different instance of the library might be copied in first, changing the
derivation contents and breaking reproducibility.
This turns out to be the case with `libudev.so.1` from both `systemd`
(needed by e.g. `mdadm`) and `systemdMinimal` (needed by e.g.
`dmsetup`). This issue is fixed by sorting the list of binaries to be
scanned instead of relying on filesystem order so that the same instance
always gets seen and copied first.
Both before this change (at least on ext4) and after this change
(without any options that affect stage 1), this is the `libudev.so.1`
from `systemdMinimal` by way of `dmsetup`. Whether this is appropriate
and how much the two different systemd configurations and udev libraries
need to be involved is a topic left for future work.
Bug fix for issue #66431. Adds all files created as a result of
hostSettings configuration to the created service's reloadTriggers,
or to restartTriggers if the version of tinc isn't 1.1pre or later.
