flake: remove superfluous arguments
Remove `stateVersion`, `username`, and `homeDirectory` as they can be
set in the configuration directly. Together with the previous commit,
this makes setting `stateVersion` explicitly mandatory.

Also replace `configuration` by `modules`, which expects a list of
Home Manager modules.

Also remove `system` which was made useless by #3028.

== Release 22.11
This is the current unstable branch and the information in this section is therefore not final.
[[sec-release-22.11-highlights]]
=== Highlights
This release has the following notable changes:
* The <<opt-home.stateVersion>> option no longer has a default value.
It used to default to ``18.09'', which was the Home Manager version
that introduced the option. If your configuration does not explicitly
set this option then you need to add
+
[source,nix]
home.stateVersion = "18.09";
+
to your configuration.
* The Flake function `homeManagerConfiguration` has been simplified.
Specifically, the arguments
+
--
- `configuration`,
- `username`,
- `homeDirectory`,
- `stateVersion`,
- `extraModules`, and
- `system`
--
+
have been removed. Instead use the new `modules` argument, which
accepts a list of NixOS modules.
+
Further, the `pkgs` argument is now mandatory and should be set to
`nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}` where `nixpkgs` is the Nixpkgs
input of your choice.
+
For example, if your Flake currently contains
+
[source,nix]
----
homeManagerConfiguration {
configuration = import ./home.nix;
system = "x86_64-linux";
username = "jdoe";
homeDirectory = "/home/jdoe";
stateVersion = "22.05";
extraModules = [ ./some-extra-module.nix ];
}
----
+
then you can change it to
+
[source,nix]
----
homeManagerConfiguration {
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
modules = [
./home.nix
./some-extra-module.nix
{
home = {
username = "jdoe";
homeDirectory = "/home/jdoe";
stateVersion = "22.05";
};
}
];
}
----
+
Of course, you can move the assignment of <<opt-home.username>>,
<<opt-home.homeDirectory>>, and <<opt-home.stateVersion>> to some
other file or simply place them in your `home.nix`.
