Add stubs for system.activationScripts options used by sops-nix: - generate-age-key - setupSecrets - setupSecretsForUsers These stubs allow importing sops-nix module without requiring the full NixOS activation scripts infrastructure.
sops-nix uses hostKeys to auto-detect SSH keys for age decryption. This stub allows the module to evaluate; users on non-NixOS systems should set sops.age.sshKeyPaths explicitly.
Verify that secrets can be decrypted using an ed25519 SSH host key converted to age format via sops.age.sshKeyPaths, which is useful for machines that already have SSH host keys and don't want to manage separate age key files.

Users consuming system-manager as a flake input only need the package, lib, and modules - not the test infrastructure. By moving VM tests to a subflake, the main flake stays minimal with nixpkgs as its only input. This separation enables CI to run fast package checks independently from slow VM tests, and provides proper flake.lock version pinning for test dependencies like nix-vm-test (replacing the inline fetchTarball). Future test dependencies (e.g., sops-nix for compatibility testing in #270) can be added to testFlake without touching the main flake.

We support sops-nix secrets!
This depends on a number of other changes including #266, so this is not ready.
I am bringing
sops-nixas a flake input for the sake of testing, I don't know how we feel about that.I had to add the dependency to
sysinit-reactivation.targetto thesops-nixsystemd unit, I think we should contribute that upstream, otherwise users will trip on it.
