IIUC, <nixos> is going to be deprecated someday in the future, and as
most of those references are already replaced I guess it's safe to
replace it here as well, as it is only relevant on new/updated
installations.

It's already set in hardware-configuration.nix so this just confuses
people.
Also get rid of boot.initrd.kernelModules, since
hardware-configuration.nix is supposed to figure that out as well.
So, we get the old behaviour of nixos-hardware-scane if we run the
following command:
nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems --show-hardware-config
This allows to use scripts in order to fetch NixOS specific hardware
information, without the need to duplicate code elsewhere.

The attributes swapDevices and imports add a space character after the
eqals sign, which is unnecessary. I know, I'm a pedantic douche bag but
it hurts my eyes.

This is to get back the old behavior of nixos-hardware-scan, which
didn't include fileSystems and swapDevices.

If this option is given, nixos-generate-config will write the
configuration to /etc/nixos under the given root, and only emit
fileSystems attributes for filesystems under the given root directory.
The typically use case is at installation time, where you can say:
$ nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
which will create /mnt/etc/nixos/{configuration.nix,hardware-configuration.nix}.
Also add a --force flag to force overwriting configuration.nix.
Having configuration.nix generation hidden underneath nixos-option
never made sense, also given that there was another command to
generate part of the configuration (nixos-hardware-scan). Now
nixos-generate-config produces both configuration.nix and
hardware-configuration.nix. The latter is overwritten while the
former is not.
