Since 1b11fdd0df the test VM
depends on some extra packages to build the system to be installed.
This broke the installer test as it tried to download/build these
packages in a sandbox.
The wallpaper used is *structurally compatible* with the other one,
meaning that the logo is at the same location, and not bigger.
It has one drawback: the logo is brighter, which clashes with the grub
usage. This is to be fixed with new options in grub.
Since a9d69a74d6, the passphrase prompt
now no longer starts with "Enter passphrase for" but now it's just
"Passphrase for", which causes the luksroot installer test to fail.
I've tested this on a x86_64-linux machine and the test now succeeds.

Issue: #29441
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
In commit 17dd7bcd89 the systemd unit
generator now uses lndir instead of "ln -s", so we need to have lndir
available in the Nix store for the installer tests to be able to build
the units and thus the whole system.
This should fix the installer tests, although I have only tested it with
the "simple" subtest.

-s, --script: never prompts for user intervention
Sometimes the NixOS installer tests fail when they invoke parted, e.g.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/62513826/nixlog/1. But instead of exiting
right there, the tests hang until the Nix builder times out (and kills
the build). With this change the tests would instead fail immediately,
which is preferred.
While at it, use "parted --script" treewide, so nobody gets build
timeout due to parted error (or misuse). (Only nixos/ use it, and only
non-interactive.)
A few instances already use the short option "-s", convert them to long
option "--short".
The installer tests are failing after 505e94256e
due to `nixos-rebuild switch` in the installed system trying to build
stdenvNoCC.
Seems that previously, stdenvNoCC wasn't in the installed
system either, but all the direct dependencies for the build were
(I don't really understand why, for that matter), so the building
actually went fine and everything worked.
But now gcc is also a direct build dependency due to allowedRequisites
containing gcc (even though it doesn't become a runtime dependency)
which doesn't get to the installed system.
All in all, let's ensure stdenvNoCC actually gets to the installed
system. It's after all necessary in almost any NixOS config build.
Restructure the nixos-artwork to make it easy to selectively
incorporate other components from upstream without needing to download
the full package.
Until now only the Gnome_Dark wallpaper was included. Add other
wallpapers available in the package repository.
OVMF{,CODE,VARS}.fd are now available in a dedicated fd output, greatly
reducing the closure in the common case where only those files are used (a
few MBs versus several hundred MBs for the full OVMF).
Note: it's unclear why `dontPatchELF` is now necessary for the build to
pass (on my end, at any rate) but it doesn't make much sense to run this
fixup anyway,
Note: my reading of xen's INSTALL suggests that --with-system-ovmf should
point directly to the OVMF binary. As such, the previous invocation was
incorrect (it pointed to the root of the OVMF tree). In any case, I have
only built xen with `--with-system-ovmf`, I have not tested it.

Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25855
The key distinction I'm drawing is that there's a component that deals
with the store of the machine being built, and another component for
the store building it. The inner part of it assumes nothing from the
builder (doesn't need chroot or root powers) so it can run comfortably
inside a Nix build, as well as nixos-rebuild. I have some upcoming work
that will use that to significantly speed up and streamline image builds
for NixOS, especially on virtualized hosts like EC2, but it's also a
reasonable speedup on native hosts.
The LUKS passphrase prompt has changed from "Enter passphrase" to "Enter
LUKS Passphrase" in c69c76ca7e, so the OCR
detection of the test fails indefinitely.
Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the test because we have a real problem
here:
Enter LUKS Passphrase:
killall: cryptsetup: no process killed
Enter LUKS Passphrase:

This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
This is a regression test for #15226, so that the test will fail once we
accidentally kill one or more of the md kthreads (aka: if safe mode is
enabled).

Coreutils is multi-output and the `info` output doesn't seem to be
included on the install disk, failing like this (because now nix-env
wants to build coreutils):
````

````
These two steps seem to fail intermittently with exit code 1. It isn't clear to me why, or what the issue is. Adding the `--verbose` option, hoping to capture some debugging information which might aid stabilization. Also: I was unable to replicate the failure locally.
