submodule-support: add default values for top-level configs

[name-snrl]

This way the end user can easily check whether the home-manager configuration is part of the module or not. Example of use:

{ lib, nixosConfig, ... }:
let
  mkIfNixos = lib.mkIf nixosConfig != null;
in
{
  programs.foot.enable = mkIfNixos true;
}
