kvm installation test update + NixOS installation archive

You can run the kvm nixos installation test by:
nix-build --no-out-link tests/test-nixos-install-from-cd.nix
It boots the installed system.
It still fails sshd isn't started (yet)
adding nixos-bootstrapping-archive:
You can install NixOS easily using any live cd now.

* Modularise the building of the installation CD/DVD. The module
...
iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a
bootable ISO image containing the given configuration. The idea is
that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to
add extra packages to the image.
The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
system.build.isoImage. So it can be built as follows:
$ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
--arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
-A config.system.build.isoImage
