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.

- Make fromSource's missing file error message more consistent with others,
and add a test for it
- Indent some function arguments
- Fix an internal type
While this change is backwards-incompatible, I think it's okay because:
- The `fileFilter` function is not yet in a stable NixOS release, it was only merged about [a month ago](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/257356).
- All public uses of the function on GitHub only pass a path
- Any `fileFilter pred fileset` can also be expressed as `intersection fileset (fileFilter pred path)` without loss of functionality.
- This is furthermore pointed out in the new error message when a file set is passed
Just minor changes like:
- Always using "X is a Y, but it should be Z"
- "X is a path that does not exist" rather than "X does not exist"
- Always using multi-line strings for errors
- Always quoting string-like values and not quoting path-like values
- But do quote filesystem roots. Even though they're paths, they might
be very small, good to have quotes to know the start/end
- Capitalise the first word
- Distinguish root vs filesystem root more
