add option home-manager.sharedModules

[lucasew]

Description

This option is for modules shared among all users to avoid having to import all the same modules on every user

I've tested with a module that adds an option and if enabled add an extra package using writeShellScriptBin.

Also tested using nixos-option if the option appears too if I create another user

Right, yeah then it should be sufficient with the description change. Nicolas Berbiche <[email protected]> writes:

I didn't see this before I submitted a similar PR, #1793, which also adds extraSpecialArgs as an option. So I could remove the extraModules portion of that PR.

Thanks again for the contribution @lucasew.
I will be closing this since #1793 was merged.
