WIP: add device TP-link Archer C7 v1

s6-supervise sends signals (e.g. SIGTERM) to the pid of the process
running "run", so how do we know if the ceanup commands are even
getting executed if the shell interpreter that is supposed to do that
got killed already?

+Liminix is now targeted to Nixpkgs 23.11 (not 23.05 as previously).
+Upstream changes that have led to incompatible Liminix changes are:
 
+* newer U-Boot version
+* util-linux can now be built (previously depended on systemd)
+
+2024-01-30
+
+New port! Thanks to Arnout Engelen <arnout@bzzt.net>, Liminix
+now runs on the TP-Link Archer AX23.
+
+2024-02-12
+
+* We now build wifi drivers (mac80211) from the same kernel source as
+the running kernel, instead of using drivers from the linux-backports
+project.  This may be a regression on some devices that depend on
+OpenWrt patches for wireless functionality: if you have a device that
+used to work and now doesn't, refer to OpenWrt
+package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ to see if there's something in there
+that needs to be applied.
+
+* in general, we build kernel modules (e.g. for nftables) at the same
+time as the kernel itself instead of expecting to be able to build
+them afterwards as though they were "out of tree". Refer to commit
+b9c0d93670275e69df24902b05bf4aa4f0fcbe96 for a fuller explanation
+of how this simplifies things.
+
+2024-02-13
+
+So that we can be more consistent about services that would like their
+state to be preserved across boots (assuming a writable filesystem)
+these changes have been made
+
+* /run/service-state has been moved to /run/services/outputs
+ to better reflect what it's used for
+* /run/services/state is either a symlink to /persist/services/state
+ (if there's a writeable fs on /persist) or a directory (if there
+ isn't)
+
+The change will lose your ssh host key(s) unless you copy them from
+the old location to the new one before rebooting into the new system
+
+   mkdir -m 02751 -p /run/services/state/dropbear
+   cp /persist/secrets/dropbear/* /run/services/state/dropbear
+
+The `output`, `mkoutputs` functions defined by ${serviceFns}
+have been updated for the new location.
+
+2024-02-16
+
+New (or at least, previously unreported) port! Liminix now runs on the
+Turris Omnia and has been serving my family's internet needs for most
+of this week.  Thanks to NGI0 Entrust and the NLnet Foundation for
+sponsoring this development (and funding the hardware)
+
+2024-02-21
+
+New port! Thanks to Raito Bezarius, Liminix now runs on the Zyxel NWA50AX,
+an MT7621 (MIPS EL) dual radio WiFi AP.
+
+2024-04-29
+
+The setup for using `levitate` has changed: now it accepts an entire
+config fragment, not just a list of services.  Hopefully this makes it
+a bit more useful :-)
+
+  defaultProfile.packages = with pkgs; [
+    ... 
+    (levitate.override {
+      config  = {
+        services = {
+          inherit (config.services) dhcpc sshd watchdog;

+        users.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = secrets.root.keys;
