The perl snippet as been added years ago. I assume the intention was to
remove the `## file: iwlwifi.conf` section up to the next `## file:`,
but as there is no file following, the snippet currently does nothing.
We should be fine to remove it.

Before this change, the hash of the etc metadata image was included in
the mount unit that's responsible for mounting this metadata image in the
initrd.
And because this metadata image changes with every change to the etc
contents, the initrd would be rebuild every time as well.
This can lead to a lot of rebuilds (especially when revision info is
included in /etc/os-release) and all these initrd archives use up a lot of
space on the ESP.
With this change, we instead include a symlink to the metadata image in the
top-level directory, in the same way as we already do for things like init and
prepare-root, and we deduce the store path from the init= kernel parameter,
in the same way as we already do to find the path to init and prepare-root.
Doing so avoids rebuilding the initrd all the time.
When installing NixOS on a machine with Windows, the "easiest" solution
to dual-boot is re-using the existing EFI System Partition (ESP), which
allows systemd-boot to detect Windows automatically.
However, if there are multiple ESPs, maybe even on multiple disks,
systemd-boot is unable to detect the other OSes, and you either have to
use Grub and os-prober, or do a tedious manual configuration as
described in the wiki:
https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Dual_Booting_NixOS_and_Windows&redirect=no#EFI_with_multiple_disks
This commit automates and documents this properly so only a single line
like
boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows."10".efiDeviceHandle = "HD0c2";
is required.
In the future, we might want to try automatically detecting this
during installation, but finding the correct device handle while the
kernel is running is tricky.
systemd 256 supports network.wireguard.* credentials (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/30826).
Check whether PrivateKey / PresharedKey starts with an @, if so it is a credential.
In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

Move replaceRuntimeDependencies to the replaceDependencies namespace,
where the structure is more consistent with the replaceDependencies
function. This makes space for wiring up cutoffPackages as an option
too.
By default, the system's initrd is excluded. The replacement process does not
work properly anyway due to the structure of the initrd (the files being copied
into it, and it being compressed). In the worst case (which has been observed
to actually occur in practice), a store path makes it into the incompressible
parts of the archive, checksums are broken, and the system won't boot.
Instead of iterating over all replacements and applying them one by one,
use the newly introduced replaceDependencies function to apply them all
at once for replaceRuntimeDependencies. The advantages are twofold in
case there are multiple replacements:
* Performance is significantly improved, because there is only one pass
over the closure to be made.
* Correctness is improved, because replaceDependencies also replaces
dependencies of the replacements themselves if applicable.

tpm2.target was functionally useless without these services and this
generator. When systemd-cryptsetup-generator creates
systemd-cryptsetup@.service units, they are ordered after
systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service, not tpm2.target. These services are
themselves ordered after tpm2.target.
Note: The systemd-tpm2-setup(-early) services will serve no *function*
under a normal NixOS system at the moment. Because of their
ConditionSecurity=measured-uki, they will always be skipped, unless
you are building an appliance with the system.build.uki feature. Thus,
these are enabled solely for their systemd unit ordering properties.
Avoid running Python scripts in the root of the package, as this
triggers `os.listdir` on the Nix store directory during import. This
operation can be time-consuming on large store directories
(see issue #283795 for more details).
The issue was initially fixed in #284153 but was reverted in #306339.
