This PR offers one change related to EFI improvements required for #231951.

Move away from isEfi meaning "does it have an EFI platform" and onto isEfi (is this EFI system, doesn't exist in this PR yet.) and hasEfi (does it have an EFI platform).

Things done

  • Built on platform(s)
    • x86_64-linux
    • aarch64-linux
    • x86_64-darwin
    • aarch64-darwin
  • For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
    • sandbox = relaxed
    • sandbox = true
  • Tested, as applicable:
  • Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
  • Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • 23.11 Release Notes (or backporting 23.05 Release notes)
    • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
    • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
    • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This might be missing some context. Maybe the EFI topic should also be explained in doc/stdenv/platform-notes.chapter.md (not sure if there's a better place)

lib.systems.inspect: isEfi -> hasEfi

This was never about "is this a UEFI system", but "does it support potentially a UEFI
environment".

Reflected in the rest of the call sites.

I agree on the general idea of the destination; happy to let others figure out the deprecation cycle.

Could we just get rid of isEfi completely?

EFI (or UEFI) is a property of a specific motherboard, not a CPU or an architecture.

This is only used in two places: systemd and gnu-efi. Frankly it should just be copied into their respective meta.platforms attributes and the isEfi attribute deprecated.

@RaitoBezarius it looks like your #231951 doesn't even use this?

I don't want to drag things out, but if we're going to deprecate isEfi let's not add another misfeature hasEfi that needs to be deprecated in the next cycle...

I'll submit an alternative that just moves this into systemd and gnu-efi. If you all still want to go with this PR, please at least apply the change below.
