This allows users to simply enable support for all hardware by enabling the option `hardware.enableAllHardware`, instead of having to import `modules/profiles/all-hardware.nix`.
This is better, as the enableAllHardware option will be discoverable via search.nixos.org, while the `all-hardware.nix` is hidden inside nixpkgs and hard to discover.
Backward compatibility is provided by replacing the old `profiles/all-hardware.nix` with a file that sets the `enableAllHardware` option to true.
In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

Encountered issues booting the live image on an Acer R11 Chromebook (CYAN). Got help from @samueldr on Freenode, and adding this module fixed it. Likely useful for other platforms/situations where booting from SD is necessary.
Following up https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/23665
Bootable USB-drives are not limited to ISO-images, there can be "normal" MBR/GPT-partitioned disk connected via USB-rack.
Also, "uas" implies "usb-storage", so there is no need to mention both.
* the keyboard modules in all-hardware.nix are already defaults of
boot.initrd.availableKernelModules
* ide modules, hid_lenovo_tpkbd and scsi_wait_scan have been removed
because they're not available anymore
* i8042 was a duplicate (see few lines abowe)
Due the recent inclusion of broadcom-bt-firmware in enableAllFirmware,
it was required to set `nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree` to obtain the full
list. To make this dependency more explicit an assertion is added and an
alternative option `enableRedistributalFirmware` is provided to only
obtain firmware with an license allowing redistribution.
