Since firefox 58.0.1 the google api key is now stored at an absolute
path ($TMPDIR/ga). Since variable expansion in `configureFlags` does not
really work (as expected) the build started failing when using the
legacy firefox build system. With the newer `./mach` based builds
firefox reads the configure flags from `.mozconfig` instead.
This commit moves the `with-google-api-keyfile=` setting into the
`preConfigure` phase where we can properly expand `$TMPDIR` into
whatever the path is.

have permission to use the official firefox branding.

This reverts commit 695027f61c.
We really can't have "nix-env -i nix" *not* upgrade nixUnstable to a
newer nixStable. For instance, it would cause "nix upgrade-nix" to
produce a user environment with collisions.
