Home Manager support

[fufexan]

I'm thinking of writing something similar to hosts, but for standalone Home Manager. I believe it's not just me who would like to see this go through, as the difference between configuring nixosConfigurations and homeManagerConfigurations is a bit stark at the moment. Would this benefit the project or is it something better suited in the user's personal lib?

I'd welcome this addition. It's fully prototyped on divnix/digga, already.

In fact, we are currently figuring out how to properly use useUserPackages. So far my conclusion is:

• user@host type profiles should probably use the same config as the host and should only be used for the host they where made.

• a portable user should use useUserPackages = false that is using $HOME/.nix-profile to remain portable for the "my user config at work" use case.

The first can be easily derived from a host's config.home-manage.users. The latter is a little more involved and I'm trying to figure out the best design, here: it would be a list of users that would be built from a certain lists of modules and profiles.

@gytis-ivaskevicius Is this something you like to see included in FUP? If so, I would be willing to give designing/implementing this a feature try.

Or would a feature like this be too much "fluff"? 🤔

Yeah, I'd be down for this
