style of declaring Upstart jobs. While at it, converted them to the
current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

Purpose: Allow overwriding of properties such as:
config.jobAttrs.sshd.startOn = "never";
thanks to Nicolas Pierron for reviewing and
extending nixpkgs to make this possible
I'll convert most of the jobs ASAP so please don't care
about the depreceateion much right now

jobs, e.g. (from the nscd job)
{ name = "nscd";
description = "Name Service Cache Daemon";
startOn = "startup";
stopOn = "shutdown";
environment = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = nssModulesPath; };
preStart =
''
mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/run/nscd
mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/db/nscd
'';
exec = "${pkgs.glibc}/sbin/nscd -f ${./nscd.conf} -d 2> /dev/null";
};
The Upstart job is generated from this. The main goal is to provide
some abstraction from the Upstart syntax. For instance, this should
make it easier to upgrade to newer versions of Upstart, to switch to
an entirely different process management system (e.g. initng or
launchd), or to test a job independantly from Upstart. (However the
startOn and stopOn attributes are tied to Upstart's event model.)

empty now), do more of bashrc.sh declaratively, and moved nsswitch
generation to modules/config/nsswitch.nix.
