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.
This further speeds up builds, in particular the modules test in the
next commit. By checking if the expected final build output has already
been cached, we can even skip the download of cached builds.
Advantages:
- The build fails if a statement fails.
Previously, errors in all but the last statement were silently
ignored.
- The Travis log gives a fine-grained view of the output of each
statement.
Add if statements because the '[…] &&' prefix results in YAML syntax
errors.
- 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.
