7cd6b3cf76 Revert change of path type
The change caused lots of evaluation errors, since it caused derivations to no longer be valid paths as well.

691f683c8c types.nix: better error message for non-paths
This improves error messages when a set or a list is used where a path
was expected. For an example, if you used a package set (as opposed to a
single package) in systemPackages before this commit, the error was:

```
cannot coerce a list to a string, at "/home/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix":103:37
```

Now, the error message reads:

```
The option value `environment.systemPackages' in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' is not a list of paths.
```

214d4fb73c Allow options with type "package" to be store paths
For example, this allows writing

  nix.package = /nix/store/786mlvhd17xvcp2r4jmmay6jj4wj6b7f-nix-1.10pre4206_896428c;

Also, document types.package in the manual.

e212e07cf6 Make types.bool complain on conflicting definitions
Previously, conflicting definitions would merge to "true". Now they
give an error, e.g.

  error: The option `hardware.enableAllFirmware' has conflicting definitions, in `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/stuff.nix' and `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/mandark.nix'.

ed91474e9b Share common code for merging option definitions.
This move idioms which were used in `evalOptionValue` and in the `merge`
functions of `listOf` and `attrsOf` types, such that we can use a names such
as `isDefined` and `optionalValue` instead or repeating identical
comparisons of `defsFinal == []`.

0a0a29fd0b Add comments about the module system interface
Ideally the module system could be configured pretty much completely by
the contents of the modules themselves, so add comments about avoiding
complicating it further and possibly removing now-redundant
configurability from the existing interface.

b5f0cc3cda Merge options having the submodule type.
Now we should be able to have multiple declaration of the same option as
long as all declarations have the same type.  If the type has a sub module,
then it is merged with the submodules of other declarations, as done with
option sets.

In addition, the file of the option declaration is passed into the
submodule, such as the documentation can display it correctly.

3f70dabad3 Add heterogeneousAttrsOf option type
It is parameterized by a function that takes a name and evaluates to the
option type for the attribute of that name. Together with
submoduleWithExtraArgs, this subsumes nixosSubmodule.

800f9c2037 Show correct position info for errors in submodules
E.g.

  The unique option `fileSystems./.device' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' and `/etc/nixos/foo.nix'.

This requires passing file/value tuples to the merge functions.

0afdb1e933 Add option type "str" for unique strings
An annoying and dangerous property of "types.string" is that it merges
multiple definitions by concatenating them, which almost never
produces a sensible result.  (Those options for which it does make
sense typically should use "types.lines" instead, and things only work
because the option definitions already end in a newline.)  Of course,
you can use "types.uniq types.string", but that's rather verbose, and
inconsistent with other basic types like "types.int".

Changing the behaviour of "types.string" to be unique by default is
not an option, given the large number of options that use it.  So
instead, we now have "types.str", which is equivalent to "types.uniq
types.string".

73f32d0375 Show precise error messages in option merge failures
For instance, if time.timeZone is defined multiple times, you now get
the error message:

  error: user-thrown exception: The unique option `time.timeZone' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/x11vnc.nix' and `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix'.

while previously you got:

  error: user-thrown exception: Multiple definitions of string. Only one is allowed for this option.

and only an inspection of the stack trace gave a clue as to what
option caused the problem.

0e333688ce Big cleanup of the NixOS module system
The major changes are:

* The evaluation is now driven by the declared options.  In
  particular, this fixes the long-standing problem with lack of
  laziness of disabled option definitions.  Thus, a configuration like

    config = mkIf false {
      environment.systemPackages = throw "bla";
    };

  will now evaluate without throwing an error.  This also improves
  performance since we're not evaluating unused option definitions.

* The implementation of properties is greatly simplified.

* There is a new type constructor "submodule" that replaces
  "optionSet".  Unlike "optionSet", "submodule" gets its option
  declarations as an argument, making it more like "listOf" and other
  type constructors.  A typical use is:

    foo = mkOption {
      type = type.attrsOf (type.submodule (
        { config, ... }:
        { bar = mkOption { ... };
          xyzzy = mkOption { ... };
        }));
    };

  Existing uses of "optionSet" are automatically mapped to
  "submodule".

* Modules are now checked for unsupported attributes: you get an error
  if a module contains an attribute other than "config", "options" or
  "imports".

* The new implementation is faster and uses much less memory.
