vmTools: Fix BusyBox runtime error in initrd 
With the recent update of BusyBox to version 1.29.0 in
d6aa506e3b there is now a new dependency
on libresolv.

This now throws a runtime error when executing ash, eg. whenever we do
something like this:

nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; vmTools.runInLinuxVM hello'

The resulting error will be:

  .../ash: error while loading shared libraries: libresolv.so.2: cannot
           open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to override BusyBox with enableStatic, but that still requires
parts of glibc:

  Static linking against glibc, can't use --gc-sections
  Trying libraries: crypt m resolv
   Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
   Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
   Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
   Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
   Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
  Final link with: m resolv

In the long term maybe switching to a more minimal C library such as
musl would make more sense, but for now I just added libresolv.so to the
initrd which fixes the runtime error.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
