etc: remove obsolete directories
This patch adds handling of a directory becoming a symlink in
/etc. Before this patch, the directory wasn't removed and then
symlinking failed, which caused directory not being updated at all.

The idea for the patch goes to @abbradar at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16978#issuecomment-232921903:
> A heuristic idea for this -- a function `isStatic :: Path -> Bool`:

> * if path is a directory, return True iff for all items in it `isStatic` is True.
>

The only difference here -- it will not replace user configs.

This also fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16978.

56f8206b85 Update etc example to not use a real config file
A user noticed the example for `hosts`, took the `mode` permissions literally, and ended up with surprising behavior on their system. Updating the documentation to not reference a real config file which might have real permissions requirements.

36641d9e69 setup-etc.pl: Fail when symlink/rename fails
When atomicSymlink can't symlink or rename, it should return failure. This is then handled with `... or die` and `... or warn`

7c480ad896 setup-etc.pl: Keep track of copied files
We now track copied files in /etc/.clean. This is important, because
otherwise files that are removed from environment.etc will not
actually be removed from the file system. In particular, changing
users.extraUsers.<user>.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys to an empty list
would not cause /etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<user> to be removed, which
was a security issue.

29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

1b5e860f65 Make /etc/localtime a direct symlink to the zoneinfo file
Some programs (notably the Java Runtime Environment) expect to be able
to extract the name of the time zone from the target of the
/etc/localtime symlink.  That doesn't work if /etc/localtime is a
symlink to /etc/static/localtime.  So make it a direct symlink.
