Michael Brantley 121cfd1998 nixos/multipath: add multipath module
The multipath-tools package had existed in Nixpkgs for some time but
without a nixos module to configure/drive it. This module provides
attributes to drive the majority of multipath configuration options
and is being successfully used in stage-1 and stage-2 boot to mount
/nix from a multipath-serviced iSCSI volume.

Credit goes to @grahamc for early contributions to the module and
authoring the NixOS module test.
