Description of changes
Sketch out possible requirements document for a holistic approach towards state management in nixos.
This branch is subject to rebase on NixOS/nixpkgs/master.
This branch is in my fork for now, but if there's interest, I'm happy to maintain it within NixOS, in order to allow maintainers to directly write to the documents.

Q: Why can this work?
A: Because it doesn't try to invent anything new, but instead work with what's there.
Q: Is this guaranteed to work?
A: No, there are still plenty of hairy details, see document.
