Use systemd credentials to provision secrets for attestation server

[hmenke]

Fixes #80 properly.

Depends on systemd 247 in NixOS 21.05.

nixos/attestation-server/test.nix would fail with:

the string 'emailPassword:/nix/store/p4bgm05dvi71slw4qmfrxvdissfdvbg1-fake-password' is not allowed to refer to a store path (such as '!out!/nix/store/rycvccbacq114ds4dzpsi7h3clid549l-fake-password.drv')

Caused by https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix/blob/bdb085a460a83c79c50a00af72b961cb982d53dc/nixos/attestation-server/test.nix#L21
Should be possible to work around by writing to a temporary fake-password file outside of the nix store before starting the service, instead of using pkgs.writeText.

Although I think we'll delay merging this change until NixOS 21.05 is released, (luckily not too long).

I think this just happened because of lib."..." which tried to use a store path to index an attrset and keys have to be context-free.

NixOS 21.05 is a hard requirement, because LoadCredential needs systemd 247. I just opened this so I don't forget about it when the time comes.

Makes sense. I was overthinking it and assuming that NixOS had some extra logic to ensure that publicly-readable secrets wouldn't end up in the LoadCredential option. But then I also forgot that we're pinned at 20.09, so even if that logic was added in 21.05, we wouldn't have it here.

I just ran the test on NixOS 21.05 but I get this weird failure:

Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/systemd/unit-root/run/credentials/attestation-server.service: No such file or directory

We can remove this comment as well

I can reproduce that issue as well with 21.05. There's this issue, which looks related, as well a fix for it in systemd 248 (not in NixOS 21.05)
