Samuel Dionne-Riel 3d0552223d examples/hello: introduce a minimal useful example system
The examples/hello system can be used by users that want to boot a
minimal, and cross-compilable system.

This is better than a "raw" build of the root of the Mobile NixOS repo
since it provides a stage-2 application stating the system booted
successfully.

Cannot directly build for ${final_device}...
Building this whole set is counter-productive, and not likely to be what
is desired.
You can build the `-A build.default` attribute to build an empty and
un-configured image. That image can be configured using `local.nix`.
**Note that an unconfigured image may appear to hang at boot.**
An alternative is to use one of the `examples` system. They differ in their
configuration. An example that should be building, and working using
cross-compilation is the `examples/hello` system. Read its README for more
information.
$ nix-build examples/hello --argstr device ${final_device} -A build.default
