linux kernel: prefer zstd where possible
Closes #302291
Closes #301536

The following things have changed:

* For 5.7+: ZSWAP compressor uses zstd now.
* For 5.11+: ZRAM compressor uses zstd now.
* For 5.13+: kernel modules are compressed with zstd instead of xz.
* For 5.19+: support zstd-compressed firmware.

The modules-closure functionality needed explicit support for copying
over `.zst` files. Also, the VM image builder used busybox's `insmod`
before which doesn't support zstd. Switched to `kmod` and added xz/zstd
as dependencies for it, similar to how it's done for the actual stage1
in d33e52b253. The use of `kmod` here
doesn't seem to be such a big deal since it's only a build-time
dependency.

vmTools: download debs from snapshot URLs
The deb files we want are no longer available in the Debian mirrors,
so we need to download them from the snapshots we download the package
lists from.

This makes it possible to build the os-prober NixOS test again.

vmTools.buildRPM: properly derive source name
This fixes e.g. building the rpm of patchelf as in
pkgs/build-support/vm/test.nix.  The glob won't work if there are
multiple spec files but I don't think rpmbuild would work in that case
either.

runInLinuxVM: set 9p msize to 128K
This fixes the following warning from QEMU, by using the value that
will be the default in newer kernels[1].

> 9p: degraded performance: a reasonable high msize should be chosen
> on client/guest side (chosen msize is <= 8192). See
> https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#msize for details.

For a runInLinuxVM derivation I have that does a large amount of
IO[2], this change results in a fairly small but repeatable speed
increase.

vmTools.runInLinuxVM: create fd symlinks in /dev
These are usually set up by systemd, but there's no systemd in the
VM.  /dev/fd is required for <(...) syntax in bash, and I'm sure lots
of things depend on the stdin/stdout/stderr links as well.

nixos/lib/qemu-flags: rename to qemu-common
The current name is misleading: it doesn't contain cli arguments,
but several constants and utility functions related to qemu.
This commit also removes the use of `with import ...` for clarity.
