Now that ARMv5 no longer uses `uImage`, there’s no point in keeping
around support for this deprecated format that the rest of the NixOS
infrastructure doesn’t handle. Modern U‐Boot setups should not
be affected in any way by this.
Silences 2 warning messages that appear when using the systemd initrd:
1. "System tainted (var-run-bad)": occurs because `/var/run` isn't a
symlink to `/run`. Fixed by making /run and linking /var/run to it.
2. "Failed to make /usr a mountpoint": occurs because ProtectSystem
defaults to true in the initrd, which makes systemd try to remount
`/usr` as read-only, which doesn't exist in the initrd. Fixed by
linking `/usr/bin` and `/usr/sbin` to the initrd bin directories.
Also moves the `/tmp` creation from the initrd module to make-initrd-ng,
to avoid making an unnecessary `/tmp/.keep`, saving a store path and a
few bytes in the initrd image.
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.

Originally, we switched to bsdtar from libarchive to solve a reproducibility issue related to hardlinks
As of gnu cpio 2.14 the --ignore-dirnlink option is introduced and now included in --reproducible, which solves this issue
By switching back, we are in turn solving an issue in libarchive >=3.7.5 erroring out with "Error reading archive -: (null)"

The previous find invocation didn't match the root directory, so the
root directory's access and modification time wasn't set to a
deterministic value and the build time leaked into the output.
`make-initrd` replaced `cpio` with `bsdtar` in #165892 because the
former includes the number of hardlinks in the created archive, which
depends on the filesystem (and can also be influenced by `nix-store
--optimise`). The same problem applies to `make-initrd-ng`, so this
commit replaces `cpio` with `libarchive`'s `bsdtar`.
Now the tool will only strip binaries if a strip executable is passed
via the STRIP environment variable. This is exposed via the strip
option for makeInitrdNG and the NixOS option boot.initrd.systemd.strip.
