Build tweak: fix build failure when attempting to check that
the "existing" sudoers file on $out/etc/sudoers parses clean--
this update changed precondition for this test to check if
DESTDIR is non-empty instead of previous behavior
"does the file exist".

Otherwise it will try to guess the log directory, and the guess might
not be the same if chroot builds are enabled or not.
The gruesome details from m4/sudo.m4:

dnl Where the I/O log files go, use /var/log/sudo-io if
dnl /var/log exists, else /{var,usr}/adm/sudo-io

The feature Nix neither needs nor deserves.
Requires the "insults" to be explicitly enabled in sudoers.
This adds 1.6 MB to your sudo as some kind of cruel meta-joke.
The current sudo password prompt is "Password: ", while distros like
e.g. Ubuntu and Arch Linux use "[sudo] password for %p: ", where "%p"
expands to the username of the user running sudo.
Adopt the prompt from other distros because it makes it less confusing
when running commands with sudo that themselves ask for a password.
It currently seems impossible to make sudo send emails. No matter how much
debugging I enable, sudo continues to be silent about sendmail. I tried setting
"Defaults mailerpath=/var/setuid-wrappers/sendmail" but that too was completely
ignored (except for logging that the variable mailerpath exists with the value
I assigned to it...).
This enables sendmail support and sets a default value that works on NixOS.
