We have to explicitely add the port number so the relabel
config can strip it out again.  Else, `instance' seems to
get its value from somewhere else - somewhere our relabel
config does not look at.

This causes NixOS to generate the systemd timer unit for us and saves us
having to explain a lot of subtle systemd features.

It does pin execution to midnight on Monday but scaling to handle load spikes
is Let's Encrypt's problem, I guess.

We can't point it at a Nix expression that evaluates to our desired version of
nixpkgs because certain consumers want it to be a filesystem path instead.

This is what we wanted and much more directly.  It also avoids the gradual
lengthening of the path by always setting the path to nixpkgs-2105 instead of
some derivative of whatever the path was last time.

This commit does not change the semantics, only the looks.

At least it's easy to turn on

This is used in constructing the Google OAuth2 login callback URL and has to
match what's configured in Google - also helps if it is actually the address
of the server.

The old version of nixpkgs let us get away with setting neither isNormalUser
nor isSystemUser but setting all of the things a normal user would get
directly.  The new version of nixpkgs demands one of these flags be set.  So,
set it, and remove all of the redundant settings that it implies.

I hope I'm almost done with this branch.

Fewer lines almost always better.  Also, we don't want to spread
these out unless we have to.

Seems this is opt-out:

Known issues:

  - Error rate tooltip computes over whole range (sum), should be per second or per minute or so
  - Duration buckets not great. Should also be per second probably.
