Enabling this flag for a `home.file` entry causes the target to be
unconditionally overwritten. The option is not visible in
documentation for now and shouldn't be relied on for general use.
This change makes use of the `extend` function inside `lib` to inject
a new `hm` field containing the Home Manager library functions. This
simplifies use of the Home Manager library in the modules and reduces
the risk of accidental infinite recursion.

Given an inner type, the former function generates a type that expect
DAG option values. The latter function is only present to temporarily
allow the `programs.ssh.matchBlocks` to keep accepting list values.
Because `extraPackages` and `overrides` expect functions as values it
has not been possible to perform merges. This adds suitable types for
these options that allow reasonable merging.
In particular support source files whose name start with `.` or
contain characters not allowed in the nix store, such as spaces.
Also add some test cases for `home.file`.
Added utilities to generate export statements and definitions for zsh scripts.
Currently, there is only lib.shell which generates export statements in bash
syntax. However, this does not allow to generate export statements for zsh
arrays (syntax: NAME=(elem1 elem2 ...) ), which would be the natural
representation of lists in the nix language.
