This should be a test that will change whenever most likely *all* NixOS
tests change. As such it should use the most "default" configuration
possible. This decreases chances of a change that will affect almost
other NixOS tests to go unnoticed by this test.
With the minimal profile used previously, there could be changes made to
the default behavior of NixOS modules which were explicitly disabled in
this profile. These would not change the simple test, but would change
all other tests.
Removing as many moving parts as possible from this test should make it
the most default it can be. It now contains only pieces that every other
NixOS test has, too: A name, a machine and a testScript. But nothing
fancy.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.

Eelco has made several early contributions to NixOS including writing
the samba module among other things, but is more or less inactive these
days.
By my brief inspection, he has not committed to the nixos/ tree since
releasing Nix 2.13 in early 2023 and merging a PR to networking tests
slightly before that. A lot of these tests/modules are actually
unmaintained in practice, so we should update the code to reflect the
practical reality so someone can consider picking them up.
You can now run a test in the nixos/tests directory directly using
nix-build, e.g.
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A test
This gets rid of having to add the test to nixos/tests/default.nix.
(Of course, you still need to add it to nixos/release.nix if you want
Hydra to run the test.)
