Matej Urbas aa38540423 nixos/sd-image: explicit reference to the gawk package
The `awk` command is not installed in the standard env. So this command fails if the `awk` command is not installed by some external module.

Richard Marko 170e1afd84 nixos/sdImage: add postBuildCommands
This allows to perform `dd if= of=$img` after the image is built
which is handy to add e.g. uBoot SPL to the built image.

Instructions for some ARM boards sometimes contain this step
that needs to be performed manually, with this patch it can be
part of the nix file used to built the image.

Florian Klink afa627730e nixos/sd-image-*: use boot.loader.generic-extlinux-compatible.populateCmd
While getting rid of the separate extlinux-conf-builder import, this now
also honors boot.loader.timeout in the initial sd card image if
specified.

Florian Klink 0aa5e3165c sd-image.nix: set installer.cloneConfig to false

don't copy over a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

Samuel Dionne-Riel 288118cdfa sd-image: Adds removed options for removed options
This will keep configuration configuring the size of the /boot partition
still build, while showing the deprecation warning.

In 99.9% of cases I assume ignoring the configuration is better, as the
sd-image builder already is pretty opinionated in that matter.

Samuel Dionne-Riel c113c094cf sd-image: Pull less slack in the image by accounting for slack
The slack, seemingly, accounted for more than the minimum required for
slack plus the two partitions.

This change makes the gap a somewhat abstracted amount, but is not
configurable within the derivation.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 6e9e78b618 sd-image: Moves /boot into rootfs
The current FAT32 partition is kept as it is required for the Raspberry
Pi family of hardware. It is where the firmware is kept.

The partition is kept bootable, and the boot files kept in there until
the following commits, to keep all commits of this series individually
bootable.

Samuel Dionne-Riel 1b6a4d3979 sd-image: Do not use batch operation for mcopy.
```
       b      Batch mode. Optimized for huge recursive copies, but less secure if a crash happens during the copy.
```

It seems the "less secure if a crash happens" does not need a crash to
happen.

With batch mode:

```
/[...]/.
  Start (0) does not point to parent (___)
```

For pretty much everything copied in.

Without batch mode, everything passes `fsck`.

See #51150

Tuomas Tynkkynen 4cf9bf9eb0 sd-image.nix: Move the /boot partition up to 8M
Reportedly some ARM boards need some boot code at the start of a SD card
that could be larger than a megabyte. Change it to 8M, and while at it
reduce the /boot size such that the root partition should now start on a
128M boundary (the flash on SD cards really don't like non-aligned
writes these days).

Tuomas Tynkkynen df86813d97 nixos: Add derivations for SD card installation images on ARM
The resulting image can be copied to a SD card with `dd` and is directly
bootable by a suitably configured U-Boot. Though depending on the board, some
extra steps are required for copying U-Boot itself to the SD card.

Inside the image is a partition table, with a FAT32 /boot and a normal
writable EXT4 rootfs. It's possible to directly reuse the SD image's
partition layout and "install" NixOS on the same SD card by replacing
the default configuration.nix and nixos-rebuild, and actually is the
preferred way to use these images. To assist in this installation
method, the boot scripts on the image automatically resize the rootfs
partition to fit the SD card on the first boot.

The SD images come in two flavors; one for the ARMv6 Raspberry Pi,
and one multiplatform image for all the boards supported by the
mainline kernel's multi_v7_defconfig config target. At the moment, these
have been tested on:
    - Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB model)
    - NVIDIA Jetson TK1
    - Linksprite pcDuino3 Nano

To build, run:

nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.sdImage \
    -I nixos-config='<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-armv7l-multiplatform.nix>'
