Peter Simons 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.

The configuration of the Nix Packages collection. (For
details, see the Nixpkgs documentation.) It allows you to set
package configuration options, and to override packages
globally through the <varname>packageOverrides</varname>
option. The latter is a function that takes as an argument
the <emphasis>original</emphasis> Nixpkgs, and must evaluate
to a set of new or overriden packages.

Specifies the Nix platform type for which NixOS should be built.
If unset, it defaults to the platform type of your host system
(<literal>${builtins.currentSystem}</literal>).
Specifying this option is useful when doing distributed
multi-platform deployment, or when building virtual machines.
