Support disabledModules

[Jomik]

We should support something like NixOS's disabledModules: https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-replace-modules
This is quite useful if you want to replace part of a module that you want to improve on or have work differently.
I stumbled upon this while trying to configure polybar.

I figured that this is on my end... I ended up having to set home-manager to use a channel, and then I could disable the module using disabledModules = [ <home-manager/modules/services/polybar.nix> ];
How would I go about disabling it using a relative path?

@Jomik are you using a submodule of your git repository? If you're using a fetcher, such as builtins.fetchTarball, you can just use the $out of that fetcher.

I was using it through home-manager.path
So I could have prefixed it with that I guess :o

With the above commit it should be possible to use

disabledModules = [ "services/polybar.nix" ];

Oh awesome
