allow Home Manager to be used as a NixOS module
This is a NixOS module that is intended to be imported into a NixOS
system configuration. It allows the system users to be set up directly
from the system configuration.

The actual profile switch is performed by a oneshot systemd unit per
configured user that acts much like the regular `home-manager switch`
command.

With this implementation, the NixOS module does not work properly with
the `nixos-rebuild build-vm` command. This can be solved by using the
`users.users.<name?>.packages` option to install packages but this
does not work flawlessly with certain Nixpkgs packages. In particular,
for programs using the Qt libraries.

home-manager: use shellHook to install
This changes the installation command from

    nix-shell $HM_PATH -A install --run 'home-manager switch'

to

    nix-shell $HM_PATH -A install

The added shell hook will print some useful information and run
`home-manager switch`.

home-manager: point <home-manager> to project root
Before this path would point to the modules path. Using the project
root instead makes it possible to set `<home-manager>` to point to a
downloadable archive of Home Manager. This should make it
significantly easier to install and keep Home Manager up to date.

To match this change we also deprecate the Home Manager option

    programs.home-manager.modulesPath

and instead ask users to use

    programs.home-manager.path
