plan9port ships with an INSTALL script. This commit modifies the
builder to use the script instead of a custom build script. The
commit also adds a patch to build fontsrv, which is otherwise
omitted from the build.
This mostly upgrades transmission, and does some very minor touchups on
AppArmor support.
In particular, there is now no need to ever specify the umask as part of
the settings, as it will be mixed in by default (which is essentially
always what you want). Also, the default configuration is now more
sensible: Downloads are put in /var/lib/transmission/Downloads, and
incomplete files are put in /var/lib/transmission/.incomplete - this
also allows easy use of file syncing probrams, like BitTorrent Sync.
Finally, this unconditionally enables the AppArmor profiles for the
daemon, if AppArmor is enabled - rather than letting the user specify
profile support, it's best to default to supporting profiles for daemons
transparently in all places.

Previously, if the currently installed Nix is too old to evaluate
Nixpkgs, then nixos-rebuild would fail and the user had to upgrade Nix
manually. Now, as a fallback, we run ‘nix-store -r’ to obtain a binary
Nix directly from the binary cache.
This allows doing any necessary actions that were not in the installed
nixos-rebuild (such as downloading a new version of Nix). This does
require us to be careful that nixos-rebuild is backwards-compatible
(i.e. can run in any old installation).
The style for IDs dictates that groups/users should have the same ID -
so if a user doesn't have a group or vice versa, then we should skip
that ID.
In this case, we had already assigned grsecurity GID 121, but I
accidentally also assigned Hydra UID 121. Instead, let's assign Hydra
UID 122. And also assign a GID (122) as well.
Luckily nobody was depending on this yet (except me).

Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
Now you can just say:
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>'
You can still get the driver script for interactive testing:
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A driver
$ ./result/bin/nixos-test-driver
You can now run a test in the nixos/tests directory directly using
nix-build, e.g.
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A test
This gets rid of having to add the test to nixos/tests/default.nix.
(Of course, you still need to add it to nixos/release.nix if you want
Hydra to run the test.)
