Subject: [PATCH] nixos/netbox: switch to symlink to check for upgrades

This makes it so that the upgrade script also runs when the
configuration changed, or when plugins were added.

This is also a hack to force everyone to run the upgrade script again,
since static files might have been copied incorrectly (see parent commit)

(cherry picked from commit fe58368de684b85915891352ef8bc3dd6e4d8ecc)
