make-disk-image: change to be less VM-centric
This changes much of the make-disk-image.nix logic (and thus most NixOS image building) to use LKL to set up the target directory structure rather than a Linux VM. The only work we still do in a VM is less IO-heavy stuff that while still time-consuming, is less of the overall load. The goal is to kill more of that stuff, but that will require deeper changes to NixOS activation scripts and switch-to-configuration.pl, and I don't want to bite off too much at once.
