Mathijs Kwik 73f18fd42f nixos: allow adding extra modules through environment
This is useful for adding extra functionality or defaults to _every_
nixos evaluation.

My use case is overriding behaviour for all nixos tests, for example
setting packageOverrides to newer versions and changing some default
dependencies/settings.

By making this accessible through an environment variable, this can now
be fully accomplished externally. No more need to fork
nixos/nixpkgs (which becomes a maintenance burden), just use the channel
instead and plug in via this envvar.
