nixos/modprobe: add boot.initrd.extraModprobeConfig option
This option behaves exactly like `boot.extraModprobeConfig`, except that it also includes the generated modprobe.d file in the initrd. Many years ago, someone tried to include the normal modprobe.d/nixos.conf file generated by `boot.extraModprobeConfig` in the initrd: 0aa2c1dc46779a3df6c4e02d3fae39b0de297be8. This file contains a reference to a directory with firmware files inside. Including firmware in the initrd made it too big, so the commit was reverted again in 4a4c051a95b6b8da3a13d7955087e915e6dd4bf7. The `boot.extraModprobeConfig` option not changing the initrd caused me much confusion because I tried to set the maximum cache size for ZFS and it didn't work. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25456.
