When trying to build a VM using `nixos-build-vms` with a configuration
that doesn't evaluate, an error "at `<unknown-file>`" is usually shown.
This happens since the `build-vms.nix` creates a VM-network of
NixOS-configurations that are attr-sets or functions and don't contain
any file information. This patch manually adds the `_file`-attribute to
tell the module-system which file contained broken configuration:
```
$ cat vm.nix
{ vm.invalid-option = 1; }
$ nixos-build-vms vm.nix
error: The option `invalid-option' defined in `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/vm.nix@node-vm' does not exist.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```
