nixpkgs: expose .git-revision in the nixexprs like NixOS

nixos/lib/make-channel.nix:16: echo -n ${nixpkgs.rev or nixpkgs.shortRev} > .git-revision This means the .git-revision exists in nixos channels, but not Nixpkgs channels. Adding it to the nixpkgs channel makes it a common API for any Nixpkgs use cases. (cherry picked from commit 5a43eec)
