- concrete types start with uppercase: Int, String, Bool, Derivation,
etc.
- type variables start with lowercase: a, b, etc.
- list:
- use `[x]` for homogeneous lists instead of `List x` or `[ x ]`
- use `List` for heterogeneous lists (not that common in `lib`)
- attr:
- use `AttrSet` for a generic attribute set type
- use `{ key1 :: Type1; key2 :: Type2; ... }` for adding signatures
for known attribute names and types
- use `{ key1 = value1; key2 = value2; ... }` for adding attributes
with known literals
- end with an ellipsis (`...`) if the set can contain unknown
attributes
- use `{ [String] :: x }` if all the attributes has the same type `x`
- prefer `Any` over `a` if the latter is not reused

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
nix-build a08b3a4d19.tar.gz \
--argstr baseRev b32a094368

This allows for adding new, conditionally set, derivation attributes
to an existing derivation without changing any output paths in the
case where the condition is not met.
