Remove the possible null value for bitcoind.prune and set prune = 0 in
bitcoind as a default. Remove prune = 0 in secure-node.nix and the
mkForce in configuration.nix (bitcoind.prune = lib.mkForce ).

This is NixOS' recommended way to setup service dirs
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/56265. This commit hands off the
initial data directory creation to systemd.tmpfiles.rules. All other
preStart scripts are left intact to limit this changes' scope.
In conjuction with secure-node.nix, this sets sane
RestrictAddressFamilies unless lnd is enabled. Before, we were
constantly exposing unnecessary Address Families, not just when lnd is
enabled.
However, zmqpub* must always be enabled for lnd, even when used
outside of secure-node.nix, so we make this change in the lnd module.
currently, nodeinfo has presets/secure-node.nix as a strict
dependency as it requires onion-chef and the 'operatorName' option.
and nix-bitcoin-webindex.nix has nodeinfo as a dependecy.
so don't add nodeinfo and webindex to modules.nix because they will fail on standalone use.
Electrs does not need to be a part of "bitcoinrpc" group because preStart
electrs.toml creation is handled by PermissionsStartOnly. "bitcoin"
group membership is only necessary when cfg.high-memory is enabled and
electrs reads blocks directly from the blocks directory.
It doesn't make sense for bitcoind users to completely redefine their
config file. Also, it's poorly named and the description is faulty.
This is a breaking change, but this option has probably no actual users.
This fixes these flaws in `copy-root-authorized-keys`:
- When `.vbox-nixops-client-key` is missing, operator's authorized_keys
file is always appended to, growing the file indefinitely.
- Service is always added and not restricted to nixops-vbox deployments.
Electrs allows defining settings multiple times via cmdline args, but
not via config files.
So 'extraArgs' is the only way to implement overridable settings,
'extraOptions' wouldn't work.
ProtectSystem=full disables writing to /etc which is the default
secrets location.
Besides that, hardening is pointless for {generate,setup}-secrets which
don't read external input and are fully under our control.

Pull request description:
The nix-bitcoin modules consist of three fundamental components:
1. a set of bitcoin-related modules for general use.
2. an opinionated configuration of these modules (`nix-bitcoin.nix`), to be deployed on a
dedicated machine.
3. machinery for nixops deployment.
This PR removes dependencies that reach from top to bottom in the list.
This means that 1. is now usable on its own and that 2. can be used without 3.
Besides improving nix-bitcoin's general usefulness, this
- simplifies testing. This PR includes a Travis-enabled modules test using the NixOS testing framework.
- paves the way for krops deployment.
- unlocks direct deployment in NixOS containers which allows for super fast experimentation.
### Details
Here are the unnecessary inter-component dependencies and how they're resolved by the commits. I'm using the numbering from the list above.
- `1. -> 3.` The modules (1.) use the nixops-specific (3.) `keys` group.
Resolved by `add nix-bitcoin-secrets.target`.
- `1. -> 3.` 1. requires nixops-specific key services.
Resolved by `add nix-bitcoin-secrets.target`.
- `1. -> 2.` bitcoind needs the bitcoinrpc group which is defined in `nix-bitcoin.nix` (2.).
Resolved by `move bitcoinrpc group definition to bitcoind`.
Further obstacles for standalone usage of 1.:
- We can't easily import 1. as a standalone module set.
Resolved by `add modules.nix`.
- Users of 1. shouldn't be forced to import nix-bitcoin's packages as top-level items in the pkgs namespace.
Resolved by `add nix-bitcoin pkgs namespace`.
### Non-nixops deployments
Commit `add setup-secrets.service` simplifies non-nixops deployment methods like containers, NixOS VMs or krops.
Secrets can now deployed as follows:
1. create local secrets.
2. transfer secrets to machine.
3. on the machine, `setup-secrets.service` creates extra secrets from `secrets.nix` and sets owner and
permissions for all secrets.
As krops integrates step 2. we now have all ingredients for automatic krops deployment.
The service is complicated by the creation of secrets like `bitcoin-rpcpassword` that are composed of attrs from `secrets.nix` instead of being simply backed by a file like `lnd_key`. We could simplify this by creating all secret files locally.
Running nix-bitcoin in NixOS containers gives you faster rebuild cycles when developing. [Here's](https://gist.github.com/5db4fa7dd3f1137920b58e39647116f6) an example.
### Test
The last commits starting with `clightning: add cli option` are testing-related and mostly fix non-critical bugs that were exposed by the test.
All `STABLE=1` builds from the Travis build matrix are implicit in the modules test.
Should we remove these individual builds?
Regarding commit `travis: cache all build outputs with cachix`:
To replace my cache with a cache that's owned by you (maybe named `nix-bitcoin-ci`), run
```
nix-shell -p travis --run 'travis encrypt CACHIX_SIGNING_KEY=... -r fort-nix/nix-bitcoin'
```
where `...` is the value of `secretKey` in `~/.config/cachix/cachix.dhall`. Let me know the travis secret and I'll fixup the commit.
### Docs
If you like the proposed changes, I'll add another PR with updates to the docs regarding the project layout, non-nixops deployment, and how to use nix-bitcoin within a larger NixOS config.

Each secret file to be deployed is now backed by one local file.
This simplifies 'setup-secrets' and the secret definitions.
Also, with the old format it was not possible to add new secrets
to secrets.nix in a simple way.
Old secrets are automatically converted to the new format when running
nix-shell.
Using the new option 'nix-bitcoin.secrets', secrets are now directly
defined by the services that use them.
- set -e is implicit
- coreutils are in PATH and don't have to be explicitly referenced (echo is a shell builtin anyways)
- exit 0 is unneeded ('if' statements never fail)
This better fits the semantics of this unit and allows for easier
automated testing whether the service is active.
wantedBy = bindsTo = after = tor.service is the simplest way to ensure
that this unit is always running/restarted in lockstep with tor.
Previously, onion-chef would have stayed inactive in the case
that tor was stopped and then later restarted.
An executable is more robust to use than shell aliases.
This is also a preparation for commit 'add module test' because the
NixOS testing framework makes interactive aliases hard to use: It
unsets 'PS1' which is used by programs/bash/bash.nix to detect
interactive shells.
Not polluting the main pkgs namespace with internal pkgs makes it
easier to integrate the nix-bitcoin modules into a larger config.
Also, by overriding the nix-bitcoin namespace, users can now easily set the
packages used by services that offer no explicit `package` option, like `clightning`.
Remove use of nixops-specific 'keys' group and key services.
Instead:
- Add nix-bitcoin-secrets.target, which should be required by all
units that depend on secrets. (To keep it simple, it's okay to meet
the secrets dependency indirectly by e.g. depending on bitcoind.)
Various secret deployment methods can use this target by
setting up the secrets before activating the target.
In case of nixops we just specify that nixops' keys.target comes
before nix-bitcoin-secrets.target.
If the target is left undefined in the case of manual secrets
deployment, systemd will simply ignore unit dependencies on
the target.
- Allow all users to access the secrets dir.
The access protection for the individual secret files is unchanged.
This allows us to drop the unit dependency on the nixops 'keys' group.
Type = "simple" is the default unit type.
Being wanted by bitcoind instead of a system target is more appropriate.
By binding to bitcoind, the service is automatically stopped when
bitcoind exits. This eliminates the bitcoind liveness check in preStart.
We're now directly using Greg's unmodified banlist which
simplifies the update process.
The banlist package with its dependency on the bitcoin datadir path is only
relevant for internal use within nix-bitcoin, so we can safely remove
it.
We're now using the bitcoin-cli from `services.bitcoind.package`.

https://github.com/nix-community/NUR is a Nix community project that
aims to make out of tree derivations more easily discoverable and
accessible to Nix users. Converting the nix-bitcoin repo to conform to
that style is a minor change and enhances reusability of its
components. For instance, I could slap on the clightning module more
easily onto my existing bitcoin node without having to redeploy the
whole as nixops driven installation. Having the repo in NUR style
would make that easier.
Otherwise:

Mar 25 13:33:22 nix-bitcoin systemd[1]: bitcoind.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
The strategy of invoking node2nix inside a derivation (installPhase in
this case) does not work, as under NixOS installations there is no
network traffic allowed during a derivation build. Hence, we move
node2nix outside and rewrite the packaging into the modules.
Also switch to callPackage instead of plain imports. This could
probably be done on all other imported packages inside of
nix-bitcoin-pkgs.nix.
