nixos: Fix output path generation of runInMachine
Regression introduced by a02bb00156.

The fix is done by disabling writableStore, because the latter will set
up an overlayfs on the Nix store within the VM, which in turn will
discard all the outputs of the resulting output path.

However in runInMachine we actually *want* the contents of the generated
path and also don't want a writable store within the VM (except of
course for $out, which is writable anyway).

I've added a small regression test to verifify the output in
nixos/tests/run-in-machine.nix to make sure this won't break again in
the future.

abe218950c Make it easier to run the tests
You can now run a test in the nixos/tests directory directly using
nix-build, e.g.

  $ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A test

This gets rid of having to add the test to nixos/tests/default.nix.
(Of course, you still need to add it to nixos/release.nix if you want
Hydra to run the test.)

6dafee8d67 Fix runInMachine
It requires a writable /nix/store to store the build result.  Also,
wait until we've reached multi-user.target before doing the build, and
do a sync at the end to ensure all data to $out is properly written.
