Factor out option renaming
Option aliases/deprecations can now be declared in any NixOS module, not just in nixos/modules/rename.nix. This is more modular (since it allows for example grub-related aliases to be declared in the grub module), and allows aliases outside of NixOS (e.g. in NixOps modules). The syntax is a bit funky. Ideally we'd have something like: options = { foo.bar.newOption = mkOption { ... }; foo.bar.oldOption = mkAliasOption [ "foo" "bar" "newOption" ]; }; but that's not possible because options cannot define values in *other* options - you need to have a "config" for that. So instead we have functions that return a *module*: mkRemovedOptionModule, mkRenamedOptionModule and mkAliasOptionModule. These can be used via "imports", e.g. imports = [ (mkAliasOptionModule [ "foo" "bar" "oldOption" ] [ "foo" "bar" "newOption" ]); ]; As an added bonus, deprecation warnings now show the file name of the offending module. Fixes #10385.
