Ricardo M. Correia e9affb4274 nixos: Add system-wide option to set the hostid
The old boot.spl.hostid option was not working correctly due to an
upstream bug.

Instead, now we will create the /etc/hostid file so that all applications
(including the ZFS kernel modules, ZFS user-space applications and other
unrelated programs) pick-up the same system-wide host id. Note that glibc
(and by extension, the `hostid` program) also respect the host id configured in
/etc/hostid, if it exists.

The hostid option is now mandatory when using ZFS because otherwise, ZFS will
require you to force-import your ZFS pools if you want to use them, which is
undesirable because it disables some of the checks that ZFS does to make sure it
is safe to import a ZFS pool.

The /etc/hostid file must also exist when booting the initrd, before the SPL
kernel module is loaded, so that ZFS picks up the hostid correctly.

The complexity in creating the /etc/hostid file is due to having to
write the host ID as a 32-bit binary value, taking into account the
endianness of the machine, while using only shell commands and/or simple
utilities (to avoid exploding the size of the initrd).

Name or GUID of extra ZFS pools that you wish to import during boot.
Usually this is not necessary. Instead, you should set the mountpoint property
of ZFS filesystems to <literal>legacy</literal> and add the ZFS filesystems to
NixOS's <option>fileSystems</option> option, which makes NixOS automatically
import the associated pool.
However, in some cases (e.g. if you have many filesystems) it may be preferable
to exclusively use ZFS commands to manage filesystems. If so, since NixOS/systemd
will not be managing those filesystems, you will need to specify the ZFS pool here
so that NixOS automatically imports it on every boot.

Forcibly import the ZFS root pool(s) during early boot.

recommended to disable this option, as it bypasses some of the safeguards ZFS uses

If you set this option to <literal>false</literal> and NixOS subsequently fails to
boot because it cannot import the root pool, you should boot with the
<literal>zfs_force=1</literal> option as a kernel parameter (e.g. by manually
editing the kernel params in grub during boot). You should only need to do this
