be22fbbb0a bootable aarch64 liminux with qemu
I may have broken the run-liminix-vm command a bit for MIPS due to
necessary changes in how we pass the command line.  If CI isn't green
for this commit and youre trying the worked examples, I suggest
reverting to the commit before this one.

31f0213b6f convert network link/address to module-based-service
... and make bridge use it.

We also had to convert bridge back into a pair of services.
Downstreams want to depend on the bridge it self being configured
even if not necessarily all the members are up. e.g. don't want
to break ssh on lan if there's a misconfigured wlan device

2e50368bd2 rename config.outputs to config.system.outputs
New rules: everything under "config" that isn't actually configuration
(e.g. build products) will in future live in config.system. This is
the first step.

d83bcc643e add wifi firmware, move things around in ram
* at the base address we were using, the filesystem was getting
corrupted presumably because the kernel unpacked into it

* leave a little more space between compressed kernel and
squashfs. this is probably ineffective but also harmless

f1b7780537 speed up kernel build
by having two separate derivations for patching the kernel source tree
and building it, we have to copy said source trees from one store
location to another which takes non-neglible time on spinning rust
(literally minutes on my machine). Replace with a single derivation
that can do more things on one tree in-place

e823e7a29c HALFARSED enable toggling promptless kconfig symbols
Some kernel config symbols we need to enable in some configurations
don't have a "prompt" entry in the Kconfig files, meaning that
make oldconfig (or any other make fooconfig) won't change them.
So we add a Kconfig.local where they can be selected

In this patch we hardcode the required symbol. Next step would be
to generalise so that they could be specified in something like a
config.kernel.hiddenConfig attrset
