pkgs/top-level/config.nix provides some defaults for the config values. This allows global defaults to be provided for config options & prevents individual packages for having to interpret the defaults. Hopefully this will make way for better documentation of configuration options. Eventually I want to move this into a proper module system, see (NixOS#39580). Other squashed commits: - check-meta: use default values from pkgs/top-level/config.nix We no longer have to check that these exist - their defaults are configured there. - config: propagate original config Lots of times we will have custom config options. We want these to still be accessible in Nixpkgs. - config: add packageOverrides One config option I originally missed. - config: fix licenses loop blacklistedLicenses & whitelistedLicense cannot depend on each other in their apply function. Instead just use the original config’. - treewide: remove ‘or’ default for configs these are now provided by config.nix - config: make types enforced config.shouldCheckMeta -> config.checkMeta This was the original name.

N.B. #16531 tried it before. I think my views might have softened since then :). |

Motivation for this change
This is spun off from #39580. This just adds a config.nix file to handle common config values already in Nixpkgs. We can reuse the mkOption function from NixOS module system.
