qemu-vm: Add new option writableStoreUseTmpfs.
This is to use the VMs own disk image instead of a tmpfs in order to
avoid eating more memory. Of course, by default we still use the tmpfs
in order to not break existing VM tests.

I personally don't like the coding style of the option definition, but
in order to stay consistent, I followed the overall style in this file.

qemu-vm: Add option to create empty disk images.
This allows to add additional raw disk images to the VM, which therein are
available as /dev/vdb, /dev/vdc, /dev/vde and so on. Especially when testing
partitioning, this could be useful.

7a382679e4 Revert 434260c772
There is a bug in unionfs, but it only manifested itself because of
our accidental use of stage-1 libraries in stage-2.

ef5108f560 Fix registering valid paths in VM tests
Commit 37b56574e2 revealed that the code
to get regInfo from /proc/cmdline was broken.  It only happened to
work because the kernel passes the command line to stage 1 through the
environment, so $regInfo was set anyway.

434260c772 Work around a bug in unionfs
Unionfs cannot delete directories that contain open deleted files.
This broke a Nix test.

fc14a31f2c unionfs: Increase the open file limit
The default (1024) is way too low, e.g. to start KDE on the

3e734ba695 Qemu says 'boot=on' is deprecated, so I try a half-fix here
I change the 'build-vm' to use '-boot menu=on', so a menu displays and allows
choosing the 2nd hd. Otherwise, I don't know how to boot from a 2nd hd.

1c53b2e299 Don't flush addresses unless necessary
Flushing is bad if the Nix store is on a remote filesystem accessed
over that interface.

http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3184162

Also added a interface option ‘prefixLength’ as a better alternative
to ‘subnetMask’.

9692495df0 Use BusyBox in the initrd
Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a
much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd.  In particular, BusyBox
contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for
NFS boots.  It's also much more convenient for rescue situations
because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more
tools (including vi).

20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.
