populate: check the settings of sources in the spec
The program checks that each source's settings are those
lib/types/populate.nix defines for its type, with values of the kinds
it defines, for specs from elsewhere than default.nix: a misspelt
setting fails, as design.md promises, instead of being ignored, and so
does a setting the program would treat as its default because of its
kind. This subsumes the check of absolute paths.
ln gets a symlink source's target after --, so it can't be taken for an
option either.
