Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,
making the CI check introduced in the previous commit succeed:
nix-build ci -A fmt.check
This is the next step of the of the [implementation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt/issues/153)
of the accepted [RFC 166](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166).
This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).
Merge conflicts caused by this commit can now automatically be resolved while rebasing using the
[auto-rebase script](8616af08d9/maintainers/scripts/auto-rebase).
If you run into any problems regarding any of this, please reach out to the
[formatting team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/formatting/) by
pinging @NixOS/nix-formatting.
This gives people some flexibility when they need a path type, and
prevents a "combinatorial explosion" of various path stops.
I've re-implemented our existing `path` and `pathInStore` types using
`pathWith`. Our existing `package` type is potentially a candidate for
similar treatment, but it's a little quirkier (there's some stuff with
`builtins.hasContext` and `toDerivation` that I don't completely
understand), and I didn't want to muddy this PR with that.
As a happy side effect of this work, we get a new feature: the ability
to create a type for paths *not* in the store. This is useful for when a
module needs a path to a file, and wants to protect people from
accidentally leaking that file into the nix store.
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.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using

Previously, for values of type list, the merge function would only retain the value
if the number of option definitions was less than or equal to 1, and would throw an
error for conflicting definitions to avoid potentially unwanted list merges.
This change removes that logic, defaulting to the 'mergeEqualOption' function for
values of type list. This approach maintains the same safeguard against merging
different lists while allowing lists with identical values to be merged.
* lib.modules.importApply: init
Brings variables from rich scopes to modules defined in separate files.
A helper for functions in files that return a module.
* lib.modules.importApply: Edit doc
Generally improve the quality. Notes:
- Not rendered to the manual yet, so probably the syntax could be
improved, but I have no way to test this now.
- The docs use `arg` vs `staticArg` in the code. This is intentional,
because the doc is pretty clear about the role of `arg` whereas
the code exists in a context where ambiguities are more harmful.
* Format
And fix locations to not break the test.
This is a rare case where another change is required after formatting.
We do this in a separate commit so that we don't need to do it in the
treewide reformatting PR.
The practical use for this should be very limited because I don't
think anyone should change `lib`, let alone change `lib.functionArgs`,
but, but it would be even stranger to rely on `args.lib` (or really
`specialArgs.lib` for what's clearly a behavior of the current
`evalModules`, which uses its own ambient lib for basically everything.
The shadowing of `lib` by `args.lib` here seems to be a small mistake,
which is easy to make.
