- xpath -> xmllint: xpath's cli interface changed in Big Sur
rather than add conditional logic for picking the correct
syntax for xpath, I'm changing to xmllint --xpath, which
appears to be consistent across versions I've tested...
- /plist/dict/key[text()='Writable']/following-sibling::true[1]
doesn't do quite what's expected. It was written to try to
select a <true /> node paired with the Writable key, but it
will also select the *next* <true /> node that appears even
if it was paired with another key.
- I think there's also a logic bug in the conditionals here.
I'm not sure anyone ever actuall saw it, thanks to the xpath
bug, though. With the xpath fix, this conditional passes if /nix
does not exist, / IS writable, and the version is Catalina+.
I think it meant to test for /nix does not exist, / is NOT
writable, and the version is Catalina+. I reworked this lightly
to make it a little clearer at the code level.
checks should be relatively fast, but buildStatic depends on a lot of
stuff that isn't in the binary cache (e.g. musl builds of Git and
Mercurial that we probably don't need since we don't link against
them...).
Having vm-test-run-unnamed for all the test derivation doesn't look very
nice, so in order to better distinguish them from their store path,
let's actually give them proper names.

Perl-based tests are deprecated since NixOS 20.03 and subsequently got
removed in NixOS 20.09, which effectively means that tests are going to
fail as soon as we build it with NixOS 20.09 or anything newer.
I've put "# fmt: off" at the start of every testScript, because
formatting with Black really messes up indentation and I don't think it
really adds anything in value or readability for inlined Python scripts.

In particular, this means that derivations can output derivations. But
that ramification isn't (yet!) useful as we would want, since there is
no way to have a dependent derivation that is itself a dependent
derivation.
