There is a need to manage XDG Base Directory system directory
environment variables in Home Manager modules. There is an existing
mechanism in `targets.genericLinux.extraXdgDataDirs', but this does not
apply to NixOS systems.
Furthermore, it is important that `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS' and `XDG_DATA_DIRS'
are set in both login shells (to support getty and SSH sessions) as well
as the systemd user manager (to propagate them to user services and
desktop environments).
The first need is addressed by adding the `xdg.systemDirs' module, which
configures lists of directory names for both `config' and `data'
directories. These are then set in
`$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/environment.d/10-home-manager.conf' and picked up by
the systemd user manager.
To make these, and other variables set in
`systemd.user.sessionVariables', available in login shells, an
additional step is added to `etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh' which
exports the result of
`user-environment-generators/30-systemd-environment-d-generator' which
is shipped with systemd. The effect of this generator is to print
variables set on the systemd user manager such that shells can import
these into their environment.
`nix-index` is a tool to quickly locate the package providing a certain
file in `nixpkgs`. It indexes built derivations found in binary caches.
This module adds the shell integration for its `command-not-found`
script for interactive shells.

This allows you to set a theme for Qt applications. For example, if you
want to use `adwaita-qt` theme to have uniform look between Gtk and Qt
applications, you can use it like this:
```nix
{
qt = {
enable = true;
platformTheme = "gnome";
style = {
name = "adwaita";
package = pkgs.adwaita-qt;
};
};
}
```
This makes Home Manager respect the NO_COLOR environment variable to
disable coloring from output generated by Home Manager.

If a user using msmtp to send all their email, it would be preferred if
git used it as well.
The only settings necessary are to set the smtp server to the msmtp
binary and set envelop sender to true, which makes git call msmtp with
the -f flag to set the from address from the email.
Polybar's config format is a bit strange, and lists in particular are
annoying to handle. This enables using normal nix lists and nested
attrsets instead.
This change is not backwards-compatible, because the INI converter
converts lists of strings to space-separated values, and this does
something else. I expect that this is only relevant for the
`modules-left` etc bar setting, but that's enough to break things :(.
Add new options Darwin options:
- `targets.darwin.defaults`
This adds options for configuring macOS through the `defaults(1)` system.
This option can be used to manipulate a vast majority of user settings for macOS
and its applications.
This is implemented using freeform modules and includes additional descriptions
and type information for some useful options.
- `targets.darwin.keybindings`
This adds options for configuring the default keybindings for macOS text fields.
- `targets.darwin.search`
This adds options for configuring the default search engine for macOS.
The `invocation` is an optional attribute, so it doesn't make sense to
use it as the key in an attribute set. See
https://dystroy.org/broot/documentation/configuration/#verb-definition-attributes
Actually, `invocation` should not be defined when one wants to rebind
a built-in verb to a different key.
Also added documentation for the `key` attribute.
Adds a pet module without sync support as it makes no sense when
configuration is managed with Home Manager and the config would be
unwritable for pet anyway.

The apropos software is useful to get a list of manpages matching a
description or to get a list of all manpages. The latter feature is
used by Emacs to get manpage completion (`M-x man`).
To have apropos working, a database of all available manpages must be
built with mandb. This is what this commits does.
A similar change was done for NixOS:

This removes the dependency on the `nixpkgs` channel within the
modules for state version ≥ 20.09. The default Nixpkgs source starting
from this state version is the path of the `pkgs` argument used to
bootstrap the Home Manager modeuls.
This is a prerequisite for using Home Manager withing Nix flakes.

Before the profile commands would not run if a single package is
installed since `buildEnv` will produce a symlink directly to that
package. By adding this dummy package we ensure that a real directory
will be generated.
Fixes#1392
Before this change,
```rust
fn main() {
println!("{:?}", glib::get_user_special_dir(glib::UserDirectory::Documents));
}
```
would return `None` even though `~/Documents` is available and
`xdg.userDirs.enable = true`. Checking the differences between
`xdg-user-dirs-update` shows that the latter has quotes around each
thing.

This makes the systemd module use the sd-switch application to perform
the unit switch during a generation activation.
Since the closure of sd-switch is relatively lightweight we
unconditionally pull it in as a dependency. We simultaneously remove
the `systemd.user.startServices` option and perform the switch action
automatically.

Add 'services.emacs.socketActivation.enable' for generating an
'emacs.socket' systemd unit.
Emacs since version 26 has supported socket activation, whereby an
external process manager such as systemd listens on a socket and passes
it to the Emacs daemon when the manager launches it. This improves
startup time of the user session and avoids launching the daemon when not
needed, for example when launching the user session via SSH.
This implementation hard-codes the socket path to the default for the
version of 'programs.emacs.finalPackage', because systemd does not
perform shell expansion in the socket unit's 'ListenStream' parameter
and it seems like an advanced use-case to change the socket path. Shell
expansion would be desirable as the socket path usually resides in
directories such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or $TMPDIR.
Tests were added to verify behavior in the following cases:
- Emacs service with socket activation disabled
- Emacs 26 with socket activation enabled
- Emacs 27 with socket activation enabled

Nixpkgs no longer packages compton, and instead packages picom, a
(mostly) compatible fork of compton, providing an alias from compton
to picom. Because some configuration options have been changed, and
all references to "compton" have been made deprecated and replaced
with "picom", 'services.compton' has been deprecated in favor of the
new 'services.picom'.
