Eelco Dolstra 2cd7c1f198 Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
This is primarily to ensure that

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

behave consistently.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

Fixes #7659.

The configuration of the Nix Packages collection. (For
details, see the Nixpkgs documentation.) It allows you to set
package configuration options, and to override packages
globally through the <varname>packageOverrides</varname>
option. The latter is a function that takes as an argument
the <emphasis>original</emphasis> Nixpkgs, and must evaluate
to a set of new or overridden packages.

Specifying this option is useful when doing distributed
