20b023b5ea iso-image: Improve disk detection
This should help in rare hardware-specific situations where the root is
not automatically detected properly.

We search using a marker file. This should help some weird UEFI setups
where the root is set to `(hd0,msdos2)` by default.

Defaulting to `(hd0)` by looking for the ESP **will break themeing**. It
is unclear why, but files in `(hd0,msdos2)` are not all present as they
should be.

This also fixes an issue introduced with cb5c4fcd3c
where rEFInd stopped booting in many cases. This is because it ended up
using (hd0) rather than using the `search` which was happening
beforehand, which in turn uses (hd0,msdos2), which is the ESP.
Putting back the `search` here fixes that.

c9bb054dd6 iso-image: unqualified root → ($root)
This technically changes nothing. In practice `$root` is always the
"CWD", whether searched for automatically or not.

But this serves to announce we are relying on `$root`... I guess...

15eaed0718 iso-image: change date on all files
It may be that in some conditions dates earlier than 1980 on FAT on GRUB
2.06~ish will cause failures

Revert "nix: 2.3.10 -> 2.3.11"
This reverts commit 6f6b2cdc98.

Version wasn't updated, and apparently a patch didn't apply.  Let's do
this upgrade properly, in a PR, but for now I'm reverting so we don't
have a broken nix package in master.

cb5c4fcd3c iso-image: Hide rEFInd from menu in known non-working situations
Looks like GRUB has issues loading EFI binaries from (cd0), which is
what would be used in e.g. qemu with OVMF with `-cdrom`. Apparently also
what is used with AArch64 + U-Boot USB.

189507a35d iso-image: Make graphical output work properly on AArch64
The serial output (but it's named console, not serial actually) causes
issues on U-Boot's EFI, at the very least.

This is inspired by OpenSUSE's approach:

 * https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/grub2/grub2-SUSE-Add-the-t-hotkey.patch

Where they add a hidden menu entry, which can be used to force the
console output.

The `echo` will be visible on the serial terminal (grub "console"),
while the graphical interface is shown. Note that input in the serial
terminal (grub "console") will continue controlling the graphical
interface. Useful if you have an SBC connectedinto an HDMI monitor, but
no keyboard connected to it.

bef4bda8dd sd-image: Add option to control sd image expansion on boot.
This is supeer useful to allow the normal sd-image code to be used by
someone who wants to setup multiple partitions with a sd-image.

instead.

treewide: use perl.withPackages when possible
Since 03eaa48 added perl.withPackages, there is a canonical way to
create a perl interpreter from a list of libraries, for use in script
shebangs or generic build inputs. This method is declarative (what we
are doing is clear), produces short shebangs[1] and needs not to wrap
existing scripts.

Unfortunately there are a few exceptions that I've found:

  1. Scripts that are calling perl with the -T switch. This makes perl
  ignore PERL5LIB, which is what perl.withPackages is using to inform
  the interpreter of the library paths.

  2. Perl packages that depends on libraries in their own path. This
  is not possible because perl.withPackages works at build time. The
  workaround is to add `-I $out/${perl.libPrefix}` to the shebang.

In all other cases I propose to switch to perl.withPackages.

5276ebb5ee nixos: Get rid of systemConfig kernel parameter
It was introduced in c10fe14 but removed in c4f910f.

It remained such that people with older generations in their boot
entries could still boot those. Given that the parameter hasn't had any
use in quite some years, it seems safe to remove now.

Fixes #60184

8929989614 lib: Clean up how linux and gcc config is specified
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.

This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.

`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.

The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.

2fcab516c4 iso-image: enable XZ compress filter
Minimal ISO:
1m21 -> 2m25
625M -> 617M

Plasma5 ISO:
2m45 -> 5m18
1.4G -> 1.3G

Decompression speed stays about the same. It's just a few seconds for the whole
image anyways and, with that kind of speed, you're going to be bottlenecked by
IO long before the CPU.

nixos/getty: rename from services.mingetty
It's been 8.5 years since NixOS used mingetty, but the option was
never renamed (despite the file definining the module being renamed in
9f5051b76c ("Rename mingetty module to agetty")).

I've chosen to rename it to services.getty here, rather than
services.agetty, because getty is implemantation-neutral and also the
name of the unit that is generated.

4e75a31e98 linux: configure aarch64 contiguous memory allocator via kernel config
As per the in-line comment, this is where distros should configure it.
Not via kernel command line parameters.

As found by looking at the implementation, while exploring the cause of
a bug on the Raspberry Pi 4, it was found that `cma=` on the command
line parameters will overwrite the values a device tree will have
configured for a given platform.

With this, the more recent 5.4 vendor kernel boots just fine on the
Raspberry Pi 4 using our common configuration.

9d92c9d0a7 iso-image: add 'serial console' boot entry
Prior to this commit, installation over serial console would requiring
manually having to modify the kernel modeline, as described in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/58198 .

This is unnecessarily fiddly, so this commit adds a syslinux boot
entry that has serial enabled.

GRUB already has a serial console entry:
2c07a0800a/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix (L311-L317)

Why 115200 bps? This is already used in other places, e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/58196

I tested this change by building the image, booting the image, and
observing the boot process over serial:

    $ cd nixos/
    $ nix-build -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-minimal.nix default.nix
    $ sudo cp /nix/store/arcl702c3z8xlndlvnfplq9yhixjvs9k-nixos-20.09pre-git-x86_64-linux.iso/iso/nixos-20.09pre-git-x86_64-linux.iso /dev/sdb
