Running at a low priority is generally bad since it runs the risk of
priority inversions, etc. It's really the builders that should run
under a different priority (e.g. in their own cgroup).
This is to use the VMs own disk image instead of a tmpfs in order to
avoid eating more memory. Of course, by default we still use the tmpfs
in order to not break existing VM tests.
I personally don't like the coding style of the option definition, but
in order to stay consistent, I followed the overall style in this file.

This is to actually allow for the target machine to reboot, which could
come in handy for some VM tests in NixOps. Well, actually to be more
specific: We need it for the Hetzner NixOps backend test. :-)

Extend the buildMachines option to support specification of
supportedFeatures and mandatoryFeatures in order to support all
configuration options of the nix.machines file.
Unfortunately, the flag only works directly and without the daemon, so
this adds an extra variable $repair, to avoid the daemon. This is to
avoid to iterate through the $extraBuildFlags just to test whether
"--repair" exists.

It used to be set to 7 (debug) so you get lots of crap on the console.
The new value of 4 is also what Ubuntu uses. Red Hat uses 3.
A nice side effect is that it's more likely that the LUKS passphrase
prompt doesn't get clobbered by kernel log messages.
Ensure permission bits are (re)set on each system activation with
explicit chmod call.
mkdir -m MODE PATH will only set the permission bits if PATH is
*created*, which means users that have old NixOS versions will continue
to have the old 700 permissions on /var/log/journal until they chmod
manually. With this commit the permissions will be set to 755 on system
activation.
When apcupsd has initiated a shutdown, systemd always ends up waiting
for it to stop ("A stop job is running for UPS daemon"). This is weird,
because in the journal one can clearly see that apcupsd has received the
SIGTERM signal and has already quit (or so it seems). This reduces the
wait time from 90 seconds (default) to just 5. Then systemd kills it
with SIGKILL.
This adds a special systemd service that calls "apcupsd --killpower"
(put UPS in hibernate mode) just before shutting down the system.
Without this command, the UPS will stay on until the battery is
completely empty.
