nix build: Add '--profile' flag
This replaces 'nix-env --set'. For example:

  $ nix build --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system \
      ~/Misc/eelco-configurations:nixosConfigurations.vyr.config.system.build.toplevel

updates the NixOS system profile from a flake.

This could have been a separate command (e.g. 'nix set-profile') but
1) '--profile' is pretty similar to '--out-link'; and 2) '--profile'
could be useful for other command (like 'nix dev-shell').
