nixos/stage2: Fix mounting special filesystems

This partially reverts commit ab9537ca

.

From the manpage of systemd-nspawn(1):

  Note that systemd-nspawn will mount file systems private to the
  container to /dev, /run and similar.

Testing this in a shell turns out:

$ sudo systemd-nspawn --bind-ro=/nix/store "$(readlink "$(which ls)")" /proc
Spawning container aszlig on /home/aszlig.
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
/etc/localtime does not point into /usr/share/zoneinfo/, not updating
container timezone.

Container aszlig exited successfully.

So the test on whether PID 1 exists in /proc is enough, because if we
use PID namespaces there actually _is_ a PID 1 (as shown above) and the
special file systems are already mounted. A test on the $containers
variable actually mounts them twice.

This unbreaks NixOS containers and I've tested this against the
containers-imperative NixOS test.
