  1. nixos: xserver.displayManager: use slim for automatic logins 

    `lightdm` is not that light for automatic logins: it runs two processes
three threads each (while slim runs one of each) all of which stay in
memory even after login is finished. Meanwhile, `auto` users usually
want the display manager to get out of their way, not to pollute their
system with six useless threads.  Moreover, the closure size of slim+theme
in its default config in NixOS is 53M, while the similar closure size of
lightdm+greeter+theme is 254M.

This reverts a part of commit fc035da.
