Motivation for this change

When there are multiple statements adding an overlapping set of rules
(e.g. opening a TCP port) there will no longer be multiple rules for
those. It could easily happen that you'd end up with multiple allow
statements for the very same port due to the way your custom
modules/files are structured.

cc @tilpner since he pointed me towards this problem on IRC.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • 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)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Looks good to me after conflict is resolved and the test run by @GrahamcOfBorg

It seems like this is obsolete since 18bc820 landed...
