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.

modules) together in an attribute set returned by the function
"kernelPackagesFor" that takes a kernel as argument. For instance,
kernelPackages_2_6_23 is the result of calling this function with
kernel_2_6_23.
This is necessary in NixOS to make it easier to override the kernel:
it's not enough to just specify a different kernel (via the
boot.kernel option), but you also need matching nvidiaDriver, aufs,
iwlwifi, etc. Having a single attribute set that contains all
kernel-related packages makes this much easier.
* The kernel now has a passthru attribute "features" that allows NixOS
expressions to test whether a kernel has certain features. For
instance, the externel "iwlwifi" kernel module package should only
be built on kernels < 2.6.24, as kernels >= 2.6.24 have iwlwifi
support integrated. So the NixOS expressions can do the test
"kernel.features ? iwlwifi" to see if the iwlwifi package should be
built.
Kernel patches can declare additional features. E.g., the fbsplash
patch adds a "fbSplash" feature.
