Adds `ubuntu2604x86_64` to the VM disk image definitions using a
snapshot from 2026-05-15, along with a corresponding test target
`testUbuntu2604x86_64Image` in test.nix.
debsGrouped was a nested array, like `[ [ drv1 drv2 ] [ drv3 ] ... ]`.
that doesn't map to any bash item, so it would live only in the json attrs.
the `for component in "${debsGrouped[@]}"; ...` part of buildCommand
was thus referring to an unset variable... but the default bash behavior
is to treat that as an empty array even with `set -u` so the loop was
just doing nothing.
instead, flatten the array on the nix side. bash gets something like
`("drv1 drv2" "drv3" ...)` and the existing shell code destructures
that as expected.
verify by building a vm (e.g.
`tests.vmTools.buildPatchelfInDebian.diskImage`) and checking the
nix-log before and after for `INSTALLING COMPONENT` messages.

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.

9p (with caching enabled) is much faster than CIFS and doesn't require
Samba or virtual networking. For instance, building GNU Hello with
CIFS takes ~323s on my laptop, but with 9p it takes 54s.
More measurements will be needed to see if "cache=fscache" is really
faster than "cache=loose" (the former seems to be a little bit
faster).
image, otherwise the post-installs script of the "passwd" package
will fail because /etc/login.defs is missing. This also fixes the
Ubuntu 8.10 image generation, woohoo!

image (i.e., it can contain any OS that obeys the interface
documented in the comment). See `testFreeBSD' for an example that
performs a build of the ATerm library on FreeBSD 7.0. This will be
used in the build farm to perform builds for platforms for which we
cannot synthesize VM images automatically.
