nixos: fix "nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader" for EFI systems

Browse Source 
`nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader` currently fails with the
default NixOS EFI configuration:

  $ cat >configuration.nix <<EOF
  {
    fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/sda1";
    boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
    boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
  }
  EOF

  $ nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader -I nixos-config=$PWD/configuration.nix -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-20.09.tar.gz
  [...]

  [...]

Fix it by setting virtualisation.useEFIBoot = true in qemu-vm.nix, when
efi is needed.

And remove the now unneeded configuration in
./nixos/tests/systemd-boot.nix, since it's handled globally.

Before:
* release-20.03: successful build, unsuccessful run
* release-20.09 (and master): unsuccessful build

After:
* Successful build and run.
