Closes #32897

Motivation for this change

Faster nix store and less build (permission) failures such as NixOS/nix#1243 or #5829

Mount with this change outputs

overlay on /nix/store type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=/mnt-root/nix/.ro-store,upperdir=/mnt-root/nix/.rw-store/store,workdir=/mnt-root/nix/.rw-store/work)

We also can't use just rw-store as upperdir and separate workdir due to overlayfs restrictions (this seems as only workable configuration).

Does this PR fix the issue with going OOM when running a nixos-install with too many packages pre-configured?

No. That's hopefully fixed by #34636.

I'm just built an iso with this patch on top of a21c2fa and it is so much faster than regular iso!
I think this is ready for merge after rebase.
