We need to move NixOS containers somewhere else so these don't clash
with Podman, Skopeo & other container software in the libpod &
cri-o/cri-u/libcontainer ecosystems.
The state directory move is not strictly a requirement but is good for
consistency.
Otherwise, starting this daemon fails with the message
```
virtchd[3484224]: Initialization of mandatory cloud-hypervisor state driver skipped
virtchd[3484224]: Driver state initialization failed
```

using freeform is the new standard way of using modules and should replace
extraConfig.
In particular, this will allow us to place a condition on mails
* With the upgrade to waydroid to 1.2.0, dependencies that previously
were shipped in the service's path have been moved to the waydroid
package.
* Make sure /var/lib/misc exists when starting waydroid. As required

While doing kernel development with the nixos testing infrastructure, it
is useful to quickly compile the kernel on the side and boot it in the testing VM.
This patch allows overriding the kernel through the environment
variable. For example, the following:
$ NIXPKGS_QEMU_KERNEL_testvm=$LINUX_SRC/arch/x86/boot/bzImage $VM/bin/nixos-test-driver
runs testvm testing VM with the fresh kernel compiled in $LINUX_SRC.

As a novice to using this module, I found the existing description to be
quite misleading. It does not at all disable pulling from the registry,
it just loads some image archive that may or may not be related to the
container you're specifying. I had thought there was extra magic behind
this option, but it's just a `docker load`. You need foreknowledge of
the contents of the archive so that whatever it contained is actually
used to run the container.
I've reworded the description to hopefully make this behavior clearer.
LXC containers like those used by VPSAdminOS might want to install a bootloader
so passing `true` to `system.build.installBootLoader` without any priority specified,
causes a conflict for such systems with the recent `system.build` changes:

link to search.nixos.org instead of pulling package metadata out of pkgs. this
lets us cache docs of a few more modules and provides easier access to package
info from the HTML manual, but makes the manpage slightly less useful since
package description are no longer rendered.
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
