A warning regarding enabling NixOS containers and
virtualisation.containers at the same time with state versions < 22.05
had been added in commit 3c49151f15. But
this warning had accidentally been defined in the wrong place, and the
warning has therefore not actually been in effect. This commit fixes
that.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Install Parallel Tools updated for version 17 of Parallels for macOS. This
fixes clipboard sharing, so that copy and paste works between the host
macOS and the guest NixOS VM. Support for guests on M1 Apple Silicon-based
Macs (aarch64-linux) is also added.

Potential use cases for disabling `useDefaultFilesystems` include:
- Testing with uncommon filesystem layouts
- Testing scenarios where swapping occurs
- Testing with LUKS-encrypted disks
Closes#177963
Prior to this patch:
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '
> with import ./. {
> localSystem.config = "aarch64-unknown-linux-musl";
> };
> (nixos {}).config.nixpkgs.localSystem.config
> '
"aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
Because only the system triple was being passed through, the Musl part
of the system specification was lost. This patch fixes various
occurrences of NixOS evaluation when a Nixpkgs evaluation is already
available, to pass through the full elaborated system attribute set,
to avoid this loss of precision.
Previously, it was held back due to the ENA driver not building on the
current default (5.15). The previous commit bumps the ENA driver, which
allows 5.15 to work.
This has a number of benefits such as that applying service limits will
actually work since there isn't a layer of indirection (the Docker daemon)
between the systemd service and the container runtime.
We need to move NixOS containers somewhere else so these don't clash
with Podman, Skopeo & other container software in the libpod &
cri-o/cri-u/libcontainer ecosystems.
The state directory move is not strictly a requirement but is good for
consistency.
Otherwise, starting this daemon fails with the message
```
virtchd[3484224]: Initialization of mandatory cloud-hypervisor state driver skipped
virtchd[3484224]: Driver state initialization failed
```
Fixes#167850
