Expand installation instructions slightly
In particular, mention that non-NixOS users may have to create the
per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories.

Also reformat the list a little.

systemd: handle non-Linux systems better
This commit causes an error to be printed if running under a non-Linux
system when a systemd service, target, or timer is active.

It will also prevent running systemd during activation if running
under a non-Linux system.

home-manager: add coreutils to PATH
This ensures that we use the expected version of some useful tools,
such as readlink.

home-environment: use explicit PATH in activation
In the activation script we expect to use the tools provided by GNU
Core Utilities and GNU Bash. This commit therefore explicitly add
these first in the `PATH` environment variable.

home-manager: use strict Bash evaluation
In particular, this will ensure that the whole script fails with an
error code if the activation script fails during a switch. Fixes #10.

ssh: use types.str instead of types.string
The `types.string` type is deprecated due to its surprising behavior.

ssh: add programs.ssh module
This module generates a `.ssh/config` file. This doesn't embed _all_
options for the ssh client, but the most common ones should be there.

Example usage:

```nix
  programs.ssh = {
    enable = true;
    forwardAgent = true;
    controlMaster = "auto";
    matchBlocks = [
      {
        host = "something.blah.edu";
        port = 1024;
        user = "cleague";
        identitiesOnly = true;
      }
      {
        host = "host1 host2 host2.net host2.com";
        port = 7422;
        hostname = "example.com";
        serverAliveInterval = 60;
      }
      {
        host = "lucian";
        forwardX11 = true;
        forwardX11Trusted = true;
        checkHostIP = false;
      };
    };
  };
```

Each entry in `programs.ssh.matchBlocks` must contain a `host` field,
which will be used for the block condition.

gnome-terminal: use attrsOf rather than loaOf
Since the attribute names carry semantic meaning we should be more
strict about the type.

home-environment: prevent overwriting existing files
This should reduce the risk of overwriting an existing file in the
user's home directory. A file will only be replaced if it is a link
pointing to a home-manager tree inside the Nix store.

If an existing file is detected an error is written indicating the
file's path and the activation will terminate before any mutation
occurs.

Fixes #6

home-environment: always link new and clean old generation
Previously the home files were not linked if the generation hadn't
changed. Unfortunately, this would mean that, if a file link was
removed for some reason it would not be recreated by running a switch
command.

Add basic directed acyclic graph data structure
Also make use of this instead of Nixpkgs's strings-with-deps library
in activation script generation.

Use stricter Bash settings in activation script
For example, with these settings Bash will complain if uninitialized
variables are used. Some code has been improved to run cleanly with
these settings.

home-environment: check files for '.' prefix
Nix does not allow files whose name start with a '.' in the Nix store.
This commit makes a not of this fact in the `home.file.source` option
and also adds an assertion verifying that no such file is given.

Closes #4

gnome-terminal: load configuration at right time
If the dconf service hasn't been installed then the configuration
activation will fail. Thus, make sure the activation script is run after
packages have been installed.

It seems to be pretty standard to do this so always do it, not just when
Bash is the session variable setter.

home-environment: handle no home files
If no files should be installed into the home directory then an error
would occur since the directory holding the files would never be
created. With this change the directory is unconditionally created.
