1. pkgsMusl, pkgsi686Linux, pkgsStatic: fix infinite recursion with over… …

   …lays
   
   Consider example:
   
   $ nix-instantiate ./nixos -A system --arg configuration '
       {
         boot.isContainer = true;
         nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: {
           nix = self.pkgsStatic.nix;
         }) ];
       }'
   
   When resolving package through overlays, we figure out that
   
     nix == self.pkgsStatic.nix
     =>
     nix == (import <nixpkgs> { inherit overlays; }).nix
     =>
     nix == (import <nixpkgs> { overlays = [(self: super: { nix = self.pkgsStatic.nix; })];}).nix
   
   and we enter infinite recursion of nixpkgs evaluations.
   
   The proper fix should terminate recursion by assigning self fixpoint
   to inner custom package set. But I get infinite recursion somehow, so
   I use `super`. It is less correct modulo deep custom overrides, but behaves
   correctly for simple cases and doesn't OOM evaluator.
   
   Fixes #57984
