Samuel Dionne-Riel 7d112134de nixosTests.installer: Fix grub1 test being unreliable 
The kernel sometimes assigns `/dev/sdb` to the 8GiB disk. This, in turn,
means the test will fail because we're targeting the wrong disk.

```
machine # [    0.000000] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 16777216 512-byte logical blocks: (8.59 GB/8.00 GiB)
machine # [    0.000000] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 1048576 512-byte logical blocks: (537 MB/512 MiB)
```

```
machine # [    0.000000] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 16777216 512-byte logical blocks: (8.59 GB/8.00 GiB)
machine # [    0.000000] sd 3:0:0:0: [sda] 1048576 512-byte logical blocks: (537 MB/512 MiB)
```

Note how the "sd x:0:0:0:` ID is stable. That is because QEMU **is**
told to give specific identifiers to the disks. So using the
dev/disk/by-id/ identifiers is stable.

Tested by forcing the sda/sdb swap this way:

         grubVersion = 1;
         # /dev/sda is not stable, even when the SCSI disk number is.

And ran this way:

     $ until (clear; tmux clear ; time env -i nix-build nixos/release-combined.nix -A nixos.tests.installer.grub1.x86_64-linux); do echo derp; done
