Before enabling dconf in Home Manager, dconf must be enabled in system
config.
Otherwise it will fail like this:
```
$ home-manager switch
Starting Home Manager activation
Activating checkFilesChanged
Activating checkLinkTargets
Activating writeBoundary
Activating installPackages
replacing old 'home-manager-path'
installing 'home-manager-path'
Activating dconfSettings
error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit dconf.service not found.
```
The conversion from `concatMapStrings` to `concatStringsSep` introduced in https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/2481
creates an unintended behavior change where the formatted config does not end in a newline.[1]
This is problematic for manipulation at the Nix level. In particular, this cause a regression in
the generation of gtk2 settings due to concatenated of the formatted config and `gtk2.extraConfig`
without a newline in between.
This commit restores `concatMapStrings` to match the previous behavior and adds a newline to
the final string for the generated gtk2 config. The test case for gtk2-basic-config
was also updated to check behavior at concatenation boundaries.

Nix permits user level configurations through ~/.config/nix/nix.conf that allow
customization of system-wide settings and behavior. This is beneficial in chroot
environments and for per-user configurations. System level Nix configurations in the
form of /etc/nix/nix.conf can be specified declaratively via the NixOS nix module but as
of currently no counter part exists in home-manager.
This PR is a port of the RFC42 implementation for the NixOS nix module[1]
to home-manager. Non-applicable options have been excluded and the config generation
backends have been tweaked to the backends offered by home-manager. A notable change
from the NixOS module is a mandatory option to specify the Nix binary corresponding
to the version "nix.conf" should be generated against. This is necessary because
the validation phase is dependent on the `nix show-config` subcommand on the host platform.
While it is possible to avoid validation entirely, the lack of type checking was deemed too significant.
In NixOs, the version information can be retrieved from the `package` option itself which
declares the Nix binary system-wide. However in home-manager, there is no pure way to
detect the system Nix version and what state version the "nix.conf" should be generated
against. Thus an option is used to overcome this limitation by forcing the user to
specify the Nix package. Note this interaction can still be automated by forwarding
the system-wide Nix package to the home-manager module if needed.
Three unit tests were added to test the module behavior for the empty settings, the example
settings and the example registry configurations respectively.
[1] - NixOS/nixpkgs#139075
* gtk: add cursor theme configuration
- Added the `cursorTheme` under the gtk module.
- Added tests for the gtk3 settings file generation, and renamed
the gtk2 unit test expected file for clarity.
- Added guard against generating a blank `gtk.css` when `cfg.extraCss`
is empty.
- Replaced `concatMapStrings` calls with `concatStringsSep`. The library function
`concatMapStrings` generates an intemediate list which is then passed to
`concatStringsSep`, As we are not performing other transformation except
the addition of newlines, a direct call to `concatStringsSep` is sufficient.
- Updated description of examples to be more general "~/.config" -> "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME".
- Update helper functions `toGtk3Ini` and `formatGtk2Option` to use the library
function `boolToString` and escape the separator in the key name.
* xcursor: delegate GTK cursor settings to gtk.cursorTheme
- Added deprecation warning for GTK settings in the `xsession.cursorTheme` module.
- Modified config section to use `gtk.cursorTheme` for GTK cursor settings.
Note, the pubs configuration file uses ConfigObj syntax, which is
similar to the INI files syntax but with extra functionalities like
nested sections. This prevents it from using Nix's INI format
generator. Here is an example of pubs configuration that cannot be
generated using Nix's INI format generator:

manual=False
For this reason, we opted for a stringly-typed configuration since the
use of a structured `settings` option would require a custom parser.
Watson is a CLI for tracking your time.
Two unit tests were added to validate the module behavior for an empty
configuration and the example configuration.
Based on nixpkgs commit c4b3aa62608d592d8a983be685f7e82000f4de30
stringBool is not needed because makeDesktopItem handles converting boolean parameters to string,
and noDisplay and prefersNonDefaultGPU parameters have been added.
Swayidle is an idle management daemon for Wayland. This modules adds support for
running swayidle as a SystemD user unit and makes it configurable through
home-manager.
Write YubiKey token IDs in the format yubico_pam expects. See
https://developers.yubico.com/yubico-pam/ for details. Also refer to
the NixOS option security.pam.services.<name>.yubicoAuth.
Closes#2502
Currently, dot directories and XDG base directories are used
inconsistently in the Home Manager option declarations. This creates
ambiguity for the user as to where the location of the file should be
albeit this is rarely encountered in practice as it is sufficient to
read upstream documentation. The rationale is to make declarations
consistent and make a clear distinction between hardcoded and modular
specifications.
References to ~/.config in relevant nixpkgs modules were untouched as
the location is hardcoded upstream[1]. Furthermore, modules of
programs which do not follow XDG specifications were also untouched.
Generalization of tilde(~) expansions to $HOME were also considered,
however there isn't sufficient rationale despite the use of $HOME
being more universal. The expansion is standardized in POSIX[2] and is
essentially portable across all shells, thus there is no pragmatic
value to introducing the change.

Swaynag is a replacement of i3-nag for sway. Swaynag is embedded in
Sway's build process albeit it is not an integral part of Sway,
therefore it has been added under `wayland.windowManager.sway` instead
of `programs`. It can be moved at a later time if necessary.
Two unit tests were added validate the module behavior for an empty
configuration and the example configuration.
This commit introduces the `nixpkgs-disabled` module, that is
basically a mock of `nixpkgs` module where any value different from
`null` will cause an assertion error.
This is to help debugging cases where `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs` is
set to `true` and `nixpkgs.*` options are being used.
Nowadays this returns the following error:
```
error: The option `home-manager.users.<user>.nixpkgs` does not exist.
```
This will change too:
```
error: `nixpkgs` options are disabled when `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs` is enabled.
```
That will direct the user to the correct solution (either removing
`nixpkgs` or disable `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs`).
