When building an image, rather than operating on a real partition,
there's no need to have sfdisk tell the kernel to reread the partition
table. This also avoids a call to sync(2), which could be very
expensive depending on what other IO is going on on the system at the time.
Strongly inspired by the forgejo counterpart[1], for the following
reasons:
* The feature is broken with the current module and crashes on
authentication with the following stacktrace (with a PAM service
`gitea` added):

It only worked after turning off multiple sandbox settings and adding
`shadow` as supplementary group to `gitea.service`.
I'm not willing to maintain additional multiple sandbox settings for
different features, especially given that it was probably not used for
quite a long time:
* There was no PR or bugreport about sandboxing issues related to
PAM.
* Ever since the module exists, it used the user `gitea`, i.e. it had
never read-access to `/etc/shadow`.
* Upstream has it disabled by default[2].
If somebody really needs it, it can still be brought back by an overlay
updating `tags` accordingly and modifying the systemd service config.

This adds a new `imageStream` option that can be used in conjunction
with `pkgs.dockerTools.streamLayeredImage` so that the image archive
never needs to be materialized in the `/nix/store`. This greatly
improves the disk utilization for systems that use container images
built using Nix because they only need to store image layers instead of
the full image. Additionally, when deploying the new system and only
new layers need to be built/copied.
Test out both nix upgrade-nix and a NixOS upgrade.
Inject a fake fallback-paths.nix assuming a stable -> latest upgrade.
The NixOS upgrade does not use nixos-rebuild switch due to the
cost+annoyance of the instantiation needing
system.includeBuildDependencies.
