By doing this, we can cache the rest of the file, including the import
of problems.nix. This allows genCheckProblems to be cached on every
bootstrapping stage, and not re-called each time.
The result of commonMeta is never actually needed if assertValidity goes
away, and `.meta` is never accessed from the derivation. We perform a
similar optimization in stdenv.mkDerivation.
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.
