nixos/getaddrinfo: init
This commit introduces a new NixOS module `networking.getaddrinfo` to allow
declarative configuration of `/etc/gai.conf`, which controls address
selection behavior for `getaddrinfo(3)` as defined in RFC 3484 and
RFC 6724.

'';
description = ''
Enables custom address sorting configuration for {manpage}`getaddrinfo(3)` according to RFC 3484.
This option generates a {file}`/etc/gai.conf` file to override the default address sorting tables,
as described in {manpage}`gai.conf(5)`.
This setting is only applicable when using the GNU C Library (glibc).
It has no effect with other libc implementations.
'';
};
reload = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
default = false;
description = ''
Determines whether a process should detect changes to the configuration file since it was last read.
If enabled, the file is re-read automatically. This may cause issues in multithreaded applications
and is generally discouraged.
'';
};
label = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.nullOr (lib.types.attrsOf lib.types.int);

description = ''
Adds entries to the label table, as described in section 2.1 of RFC 3484.
If any label entries are provided, the glibcs default label table is ignored.

"::/0" = 1;
"2002::/16" = 2;

precedence = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.nullOr (lib.types.attrsOf lib.types.int);
default = null;
description = ''
Similar to {option}`networking.getaddrinfo.label`, but this option
defines entries for the precedence table instead.
See sections 2.1 and 10.3 of RFC 3484 for details.
Providing any value will disable the glibc's default precedence table.

scopev4 = lib.mkOption {

description = ''
Adds custom rules to the IPv4 scope table.
By default, the scope IDs described in section 3.2 of RFC 6724 are used.
Modifying these values is rarely necessary.
