Support for ZFS, while desirable, is problematic with newer kernel
releases. The stable ZFS release seldom supports the current newest
kernel version, and this makes the new_kernel image basically useless as
it cannot be published, and is not often built with new kernel releases.
This uses a dirty workaround to work around the fact it is impossible to
remove a list item from a modules system list type. Since ZFS support is
conditional to being supported on the current platform, we can fake ZFS
not being supported *for the no-zfs build only*. This overlay is only
added when evaluating the image, nothing else.

Pin the `nixpkgs` registry entry to the *filtered* nixpkgs source to
avoid copying the entire `.git` directory to the ISO when building
from a local checkout.
Also set `to` directly instead of the `flake.outPath` hack.
This is done for sd-images only here, but should probably also be done
for dvd-images.
The --invariant arg should be a better way of making mkfs.vfat deterministic.
The previous version of invoking faketime was building fine and reproducible
when I was compiling an sdimage for aarch64 under emulation.
It was however still logging errors:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/nix/store/1c2cp2709kmvby8ql2n9946v7l52nn50-libfaketime-0.9.9/lib/libfaketime.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

The logged errors were presumably inaccurate somehow as calling
faketime was required for reproducibility, even though the log makes it
looks like it failed.
Within #193485 (and the previous changes) the internal structure of the
testing driver was changed. Since then, `makeTest` returns the
attributes for the VM test(s) (including `driverInteractive`) inside a
sub-attribute called `test`, so without this change running
`nixos-build-vms` would fail like this:
error: attribute 'driverInteractive' missing
Move already implemented functionality to the upper level so
it could be used in a more generic way.

this mostly means marking options that use markdown already
appropriately and making a few adjustments so they still render
correctly. notable for nftables we have to transform the md links
because the manpage would not render them correctly otherwise.
This is image media, so use the override level designed for it. As
detailed in the definition for mkImageMediaOverride:
> image media profiles can be derived by inclusion into host config,

our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
The `nixos-rebuild` tool calls `get-version-suffix` to figure out the
git revision of the nixpkgs directory if there is a .git.
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24765 made git throw an
error if the .git search logic is not turned off and a user
tries to access a `.git` directory they don’t own (otherwise a
different user could trick them into setting arbitrary git config).
So from now on we should always explicitely set `--git-dir`, which
turns this search logic (and thus the security check) off.
