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 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.
