  3. lib/types: Introduce types.anything 

    This new type has unsurprising merge behavior: Only attribute sets are
merged together (recursively), and only if they don't conflict.

This is in contrast to the existing types:
- types.attrs is problematic because later definitions completely
  override attributes of earlier definitions, and it doesn't support
  mkIf and co.
- types.unspecified is very similar to types.attrs, but it has smart
  merging behavior that often doesn't make sense, and it doesn't support
  all types
