Motivation for this change

Installs can take a long time and thus are frequently unattended. A small problem occurring should not waste all the time it is unobserved.
Passing a built system to nixos-install is not an option because nix-buildby default will download and build into the installer's store instead of the installee's.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Tested and conflict resolved, ready to merge.
@worldofpeace Can I get you to do this since it's very similar to one you just merged?
