Subject: lib: allow to import JSON and TOML files

The vision here is that configuration tools can generate .json or .toml
files, which can be plugged into an existing configuration.

Eg:

    { lib, ... }:
    {
      imports = [
        (lib.modules.importJSON ./hardware-configuration.json)
      ];
    }
