Title: Make a configuration management tool based on Nix to manage User Profiles.

This pull request is made to bootstrap a variant of NixOS, which is dedicated at managing the home directory of users. This new project is called NixUP (Nix User Profile), and the goals are the following:

- [✓] Generate an activation script.
- [✗] Abstract for the creation of resource files. (similar to environment.etc)
- [✗] Option to list installed packages. (similar to system.packages)
- [✗] Command line tool to manage profiles generations and updates. (similar to nixos-rebuild)
- [✗] Command line tool to write / read option definition without using an editor. (no legacy yet)
- [✗] Mock compatibility modules to use some NixOS modules in NixUP.
- [✗] Include NixUP modules as submodules of NixOS option `users.extraUser.`
