pkgs.nixos: Expose configuration directly
The pkgs.nixos used to only expose system.build, which kind of made sense in theory, but asking everyone to write modules when to want to pull something out of a NixOS configuration is just not realistic. In fact it's very inconvenient when you're trying to debug something. This adds the config, options and anything that eval-config.nix produces. Although this introduces the potential for attributes of eval-config.nix output to shadow system.build, I don't expect naming collisions to be commonplace, or to remain undetected during evaluation. Also such an error should be easy to resolve, by explicitly querying (pkgs.nixos {}).config.system.build.X, or by renaming X to something other than config, options, extraArgs.
