Robert Hensing 02a696bccd ci,modules: Backport additions of #431450
Reason: keep ci directory in sync
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/431450#issuecomment-3209546418

This requires that we have a modules directory, in which case the
easy and robust solution is to only port the addition parts of the refactor.
It's about as easy as a .keep file, but more useful.

This means that some duplication is created, but we avoid backporting the
changes to the documentation generation, which is a somewhat complex
component I'd rather not touch until these changes have been proven out
on unstable.

# `<nixpkgs>/modules`
This directory hosts subdirectories representing each module [class](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-class) for which the `nixpkgs` repository has user-importable modules.
Exceptions:
- `_class = "nixos";` modules go in the `<nixpkgs>/nixos/modules` tree
- modules whose only purpose is to test code in this repository
The emphasis is on _importable_ modules, i.e. ones that aren't inherent to and built into the Module System application.
