Move platform check into modules
Before, loading a module would be guarded by an optional platform
condition. This made it possible to avoid loading and evaluating a
module if it did not support the host platform.

Unfortunately, this made it impossible to share a single configuration
between GNU/Linux and Darwin hosts, which some wish to do.

This removes the conditional load and instead inserts host platform
assertions in the modules that are platform specific.

Fixes #1906

# The glibc package in Nixpkgs is patched to make it possible to specify
# an alternative path for the locale archive through a special environment
# variable. This would allow different versions of glibc to coexist on the
# same system because each version of glibc could look up different paths
# for its locale archive should the archive format ever change in
# incompatible ways.
#

# - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/38991
#
# Note, the name of the said environment variable gets updated with each
# breaking release of the glibcLocales package. Periodically check the link
# below for changes:
