This cleans up the CockroachDB expression, with a few suggestions from @aszlig. However, it brought up the note of using systemd's StateDirectory= directive, which is a nice feature for managing long-term data files, especially for UID/GID assigned services. However, it can only manage directories under /var/lib (for global services), so it has to introduce a special path to make use of it at all in the case someone wants a path at a different root. While the dataDir directive at the NixOS level is _occasionally_ useful, I've gone ahead and removed it for now, as this expression is so new, and it makes the expression cleaner, while other kinks can be worked out and people can test drive it. CockroachDB's dataDir directive, instead, has been replaced with systemd's StateDirectory management to place the data under /var/lib/cockroachdb for all uses. There's an included RequiresMountsFor= clause like usual though, so if people want dependencies for any kind of mounted device at boot time/before database startup, it's easy to specify using their own mount/filesystems clause. This can also be reverted if necessary, but, we can see if anyone ever actually wants that later on before doing it -- it's a backwards compatible change, anyway.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
