nixos/lxd: add package options for LXC, LXD and ZFS #73902

Currently, LXD always use pkgs.zfs, even if boot.zfs.enableUnstable is set. This
change provides the option to change the LXC, LXD and ZFS packages, and
determines the default ZFS package based on zfs.enableUnstable.

Motivation for this change

I had to change the LXD package (to use LXD from nixpkgs-unstable), and noticed it could not be changed in virtualisation/lxd.nix. I also noticed that zfs.enableUnstable was not taken into account for the ZFS dependency.

Things done

Added options for the LXC, LXD and ZFS packages in the LXD configuration.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The force-push was to fix some forgotten whitespace.

hmm, wouldn't it be better to use packageOverrides for something like this? maybe zfs.enableUnstable should override pkgs.zfs?

Should I remove the ZFS part of this PR so that we can merge the LXC/LXD options and handle ZFS in another PR ?

I tried that, but it seems to cause infinite recursions in our nixos modules system.
