Since 4f6df27aee, nix.useSandbox defaults
to true which causes the Nix build within the containers-imperative test
to fail while trying to hardlink files into the chroot:
link("/nix/store/foo", "/nix/store/bar.drv.chroot/nix/store/foo")
= -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
The reason this happens is that the hosts store is mounted using 9p and
an overlayfs is mounted on top, so even if we would disable the tmpfs
for the upper directory the hardlink would still cross filesystem
boundaries, which then fails with the above error code.
I haven't yet seen any other test which fails in a similar way, which
might be because building within VM tests is not very common and the
installer tests build in a separate store, so they're not affected.

This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
While building the container there are a few occasions where stdenvNoCC
is used underneath. During the last staging merge, some change now tries
to build texinfo during the test while building stdenvNoCC.
With this change, I'm adding stdenvNoCC to the closure to make sure that
even when we have future stdenv changes, it doesn't break (well, except
if we do have another variation like stdenvNoCC that overrides stdenv).
I haven't bisected the exact change, but I'd suspect that it could be
one of the commits in #39457.
This fixes the test and it no longer fails with the following error:

The commit c6f7d43678 changed the system
attribute to be below config.nixpkgs.localSystem, but the test still
uses the old attribute.
I have not tested whether the test actually succeeds but just checked
whether evaluation works and it evaluates successfully now.

Just removing the system argument because it doesn't exist (it's
actually config.nixpkgs.system, which we're already using). We won't get
an error anyway if we're not actually using it, so this is just an
aesthetics fix.

Make sure that we always have everything available within the store of
the VM, so let's evaluate/build the test container fully on the host
system and propagate all dependencies to the VM.
This way, even if there are additional default dependencies that come
with containers in the future we should be on the safe side as these
dependencies should now be included for the test as well.
