Emacs populates 'exec-path' at launch from the 'PATH' environment
variable. Likewise, the emacs derivation from nixpkgs populates
'load-path' from the 'NIX_PROFILES' variable. As neither of these are
available by default in the systemd user manager, revert to the
previous behavior of launching the Emacs daemon from a login shell.

Add 'services.emacs.socketActivation.enable' for generating an
'emacs.socket' systemd unit.
Emacs since version 26 has supported socket activation, whereby an
external process manager such as systemd listens on a socket and passes
it to the Emacs daemon when the manager launches it. This improves
startup time of the user session and avoids launching the daemon when not
needed, for example when launching the user session via SSH.
This implementation hard-codes the socket path to the default for the
version of 'programs.emacs.finalPackage', because systemd does not
perform shell expansion in the socket unit's 'ListenStream' parameter
and it seems like an advanced use-case to change the socket path. Shell
expansion would be desirable as the socket path usually resides in
directories such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or $TMPDIR.
Tests were added to verify behavior in the following cases:
- Emacs service with socket activation disabled
- Emacs 26 with socket activation enabled
- Emacs 27 with socket activation enabled

Nixpkgs no longer packages compton, and instead packages picom, a
(mostly) compatible fork of compton, providing an alias from compton
to picom. Because some configuration options have been changed, and
all references to "compton" have been made deprecated and replaced
with "picom", 'services.compton' has been deprecated in favor of the
new 'services.picom'.

Add 'services.lieer', which generates systemd timer and service units
to synchronize a Gmail account with lieer. Per-account configuration
lives in 'accounts.email.accounts.<name>.lieer.sync'.
This adds a service module for [grobi](https://github.com/fd0/grobi),
which can be used to automatically configure monitors/outputs for Xorg
via RANDR.
The old method for hiding the error no longer works in NixOS 19.09,
and ends up breaking blueman-applet entirely. Enable the NixOS service
instead.
