When the microsoft/surface profile was created, there weren't that many differences between
the various models of Surface.
I had just acquired a Surface Go 1, and it was mostly safe to enable all the options for all the
models, and they would fail gracefully enough that we could mostly ignore warnings or errors.
e.g. I had just acquired a Surface Go 1, and it was mostly safe to enable all the options for all the

Now, however --- as-of 2023-01-10 --- we have a much wider variety of chipsets, incl. models with
some of the newer AMD CPUs, and this is breaking small things in annoying ways for more people.

Any code or modules that are specialised for a Surface model now have their own directory under this
top-level.
E.g. I am moving the Surface Go specialisations into `surface-go/`, and there may be further
specialisations like `surface-go-3/`.

Tools / services that are shared among several models are now extracted to their own module under
`common/` and imported by `common/default.nix`.
These new "common" modules now have an `enable` option, which is `false` by default.
### "Deprecated Behaviour" module
The original `./default.nix` module has been replaced by a new `deprecated/` module, which replicates the
original behaviour.
The new `./default.nix` will load the new `deprecated/` module, but will also pop-up a warning asking users
to update how they use the microsoft/surface profile from now on.
This warning will probably change to a fail assertion at some point in the future.
Most "common" modules now have an `enable` option, which is `false` by default.
