- Remove nix(), eval_nix(), and build_nix() methods from Machine class
- Add select() method that handles machine-specific attribute prefixes
- Update all usages to use machine.select() directly
- Handle Path conversion and tmp_store logic at call sites
- This simplifies the Machine API and prepares for deployment.json removal
This makes it clear that this should be used with care
It is potentially more expensive to create the full object, therefore it should be discouraged by its longer name
This listing is implemented based on the basic listing, where each item is turned into the bigger machine class
I ran into this error when trying to run `opendkim-genkey` in a vars
generator:

As we allow `/bin/sh` in the nix build sandbox, I assume we're OK
allowing it here as well?
... for now only when updating a machine (not when installing)
Whenever the user clicks on the update button in the machine view, and only if user input is needed for some missing vars, the user will be forwarded to a vars page.
Invalidation doesn't need to be done after each generator is executed.
We cannot interpolate values from other generators into another
generator. The generators are executed in order. The finalScript of each
generator stays constant.
After the complete closure is generated the caller of generate may
decide to invalidate the flake cache
* Switch `Generator`'s `validation` from a regular property to
an `@property` annotated method backed by `Machine`'s `eval_nix()`.
* Ensure that `Machine`'s flake cache is flushed after each
effectful generator execution (rather than only after all
generators have been executed).
On macOS mktemp returns a temporary directory in a symlink.
Nix has a bug where it won't accept path:// located in a symlink.
This avoid this issue by always resolving symlinks as returned by
TemporaryDirectory.
