nixos: tarsnap - allow keys for individual archives

Browse Source 
Two concurrent tarsnap backups cannot be run at the same time with the
same keys - completely separate sets of keys must be generated for each
archive in this case, if you want backups to overlap.

This extends the archives attrset to support a 'keyfile' option, which
defaults to /root/tarsnap.key like the top-level attribute.

With this change, if you generate two keys with tarsnap-keygen(1) and
use each of those separately for each archive, you can backup
concurrently.

Create the keyfile with <command>tarsnap-keygen</command>.
Note that each individual archive (specified below) may also have its
own individual keyfile specified. Tarsnap does not allow multiple
concurrent backups with the same cache directory and key (starting a
new backup will cause another one to fail). If you have multiple
archives specified, you should either spread out your backups to be
far apart, or specify a separate key for each archive. By default
every archive defaults to using
<literal>"/root/tarsnap.key"</literal>.
It's recommended for backups that you generate a key for every archive
using <literal>tarsnap-keygen(1)</literal>, and then generate a
write-only tarsnap key using <literal>tarsnap-keymgmt(1)</literal>,
and keep your master key(s) for a particular machine off-site.
The keyfile name should be given as a string and not a path, to
avoid the key being copied into the Nix store.
