Drop most of the existing certificate handling, because we're effectively
duplicating functionality that NixOS offers for free with better
design, testing and maintainance than what we could provide downstream.
The remaining two options are to reference an
existing `security.acme.certs` configuration through
`mailserver.x509.useACMEHost` or to provide existing key material via
`mailserver.x509.certificateFile` and `mailserver.x509.privateKeyFile`.
Support for automatic creation of self-signed certificates has been
removed, because it is undesirable in public mail setups.
The updated setup guide now displays the recommended configuration that
relies on the NixOS ACME module, but requires further customization to
select a suitable challenge.

These will never suceed while running the tests in the Nix sandbox, and
skipping them leads to very noticable (~51%) speedups.
Before:
```
Benchmark 1: nix build .#hydraJobs.x86_64-linux.external-unstable --rebuild
Time (mean ± σ): 151.737 s ± 1.074 s [User: 0.310 s, System: 0.289 s]
Range (min … max): 150.321 s … 153.512 s 10 runs
```
After:
```
Benchmark 1: nix build .#hydraJobs.x86_64-linux.external-unstable --rebuild
Time (mean ± σ): 74.010 s ± 0.746 s [User: 0.269 s, System: 0.266 s]
Range (min … max): 72.814 s … 75.190 s 10 runs
```
Provides a small (~7.5%) reduction in the test runtime measured for the external
test:

With upcoming changes to the dovecot home and maildirectories we need to
introduce a way to nudge users to inform themselves about manual
migration steps they might need to carry out.
The idea here is to allow us to safely make breaking changes and notify
the user of required migration steps at eval time, so they can make the
necessary changes in time.
Before using Niv, we were following channels meaning we can not
reproduce CI jobs easily.
In this change, we use Niv to pin these dependencies. We are also
addding a tests/default.nix to be able to run these tests locally.
For instance, to run the test extern.nix on the nixpkgs-19.09 release:
nix-build tests/default.nix -A extern.nixpkgs_19_09
Fixes#178
Their CI environment currently doesn't have KVM. This commit should be
reverted when/if they do, for much better CI speed.
You can still run tests locally on your KVM-enabled machine as documented
on the wiki.
Workaround on GitLab is several pieces (injected through .gitlab-ci.yml):
- Make a /dev/kvm file so that nix thinks we have "kvm" system feature
and proceeds with executing the tests.
- Inject a QEMU package that replaces qemu-kvm with a full emulator.
- Monkey-patch the test script to wait longer for the VM to boot, since
it's slow on full emulation. 1200 seconds, double the previous value.
The patch method is not bulletproof, but better than maintaining forks of
nixpkgs.
- Set systemd's DefaultTimeoutStartSec=15min, so nix's "backdoor" test
service doesn't time out on the slow boot.
