f1708a9d7d 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.

49641e0de0 make-disk-image.nix: support additional filesystem contents
This makes make-disk-image.nix slightly more consistent with other image
builders we have. Unfortunately I duplicated some code in doing so, but
this is temporary duplication on the path to consolidating everything.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23052 for more details on that.

I'm also exposing the option in the amazon-image.nix maintainer module.

0d3738cdcc Fix the EC2 test
We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.

ab0ddac8f9 Make EBS volumes much smaller
Since they're resized on first boot anyway, they don't need to be big.

aeb31b97ad Update AMI generator
The EBS and S3 (instance-store) AMIs are now created from the same
image. HVM instance-store AMIs are also generated.

Disk image generation has been factored out into a function
(nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix) that can be used to build other kinds
of images.
