xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
This effectively disables nscd's built-in hosts cache, which turns out
to be erratic in some cases.
We only use nscd these days as a more ABI-neutral NSS dispatcher
mechanism.
Local caching should still be possible with local resolvers in
/etc/resolv.conf (via the `dns` NSS module), or without local resolvers
via systemd-networkd (via the `resolve` nss module)
We don't set enable-cache to no due to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/50316#discussion_r241035226.
Refactor the systemd service definition for the haproxy reverse proxy,
using the upstream systemd service definition. This allows the service
to be reloaded on changes, preserving existing server state, and adds
some hardening options.
These syncs have the goal to transfer host filesystem changes to the VM,
but they have no effect because 1) syncing in the VM can't possibly pull
in host data and 2) 9p is accessing the host filesystem on the cached
layer anyways, so even syncing on the host would have no effect in the
VM.
The `networking.interfaces.<name?>.proxyARP` option previously mentioned it would also enable IPv6 forwarding and `proxy_ndp`.
However, the `proxy_ndp` option was never actually set (the non-existing `net.ipv6.conf.proxy_arp` sysctl was set
instead). In addition `proxy_ndp` also needs individual entries for each ip to proxy for.
Proxy ARP and Proxy NDP are two different concepts, and enabling the latter
should be a conscious decision.
This commit removes the broken NDP support, and disables explicitly
enabling IPv6 forwarding (which is the default in most cases anyways)
Fixes#62339.
NixOS currently has issues with setting the FQDN of a system in a way
where standard tools work. In order to help with experimentation and
avoid regressions, add a test that checks that the hostname is
reported as the user wanted it to be.

This fixes the output of "hostname --fqdn" (previously the domain name
was not appended). Additionally it's now possible to use the FQDN.
This works by unconditionally adding two entries to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
These are the first two entries and therefore gethostbyaddr() will
always resolve "127.0.0.1" and "::1" back to "localhost" [0].
This works because nscd (or rather the nss-files module) returns the
first matching row from /etc/hosts (and ignores the rest).
The FQDN and hostname entries are appended later to /etc/hosts, e.g.:
127.0.0.2 nixos-unstable.test.tld nixos-unstable
::1 nixos-unstable.test.tld nixos-unstable
Note: We use 127.0.0.2 here to follow nss-myhostname (systemd) as close
as possible. This has the advantage that 127.0.0.2 can be resolved back
to the FQDN but also the drawback that applications that only listen to
127.0.0.1 (and not additionally ::1) cannot be reached via the FQDN.
If you would like this to work you can use the following configuration:
```nix
networking.hosts."127.0.0.1" = [
"${config.networking.hostName}.${config.networking.domain}"
config.networking.hostName
];
```
Therefore gethostbyname() resolves "nixos-unstable" to the FQDN
(canonical name): "nixos-unstable.test.tld".
Advantages over the previous behaviour:
- The FQDN will now also be resolved correctly (the entry was missing).
- E.g. the command "hostname --fqdn" will now work as expected.
Drawbacks:
- Overrides entries form the DNS (an issue if e.g. $FQDN should resolve
to the public IP address instead of 127.0.0.1)
- Note: This was already partly an issue as there's an entry for
$HOSTNAME (without the domain part) that resolves to
127.0.1.1 (!= 127.0.0.1).
- Unknown (could potentially cause other unexpected issues, but special
care was taken).
[0]: Some applications do apparently depend on this behaviour (see
c578924) and this is typically the expected behaviour.

really needed it should be added in the system configuration.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/88492 flipped some references to
systemctl from config.systemd.package to /run/current-system/systemd/,
which udevRules obviously isn't able resolve.
If we encounter such references, replace them with
config.systemd.package before doing the check.
The `network-link-${i.name}` units raced with other things trying to
configure the interface, or ran before the interface was available.
Instead of running our own set of shell scripts on boot, and hoping
they're executed at the right time, we can make use of udev to configure
the interface *while they appear*, by providing `.link` files in
/etc/systemd/network/*.link to set MACAddress and MTUBytes.
This doesn't require networkd to be enabled, and is populated properly
on non-networkd systems since
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82941.
This continues clean-up work done in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/85170 for the scripted networking
stack.
The only leftover part of the `network-link-${i.name}` unit (bringing
the interface up) is moved to the beginning of the
`network-addresses-${i.name}` unit.

it does happen that `dnscrypt-proxy` exit when it is unable to
synchronise its resolvers metadata on startup. this can happen due
to network connectivity issues for example. not restarting it automatically
means no dns resolution will work until a manual restart is performed.
