osquery was marked as broken since April.
If somebody steps up to fix it, we can always revive it from the
histroy, but there's not much value in shipping completely broken things
in current master.

Some time ago I fixed the broken package `osquery` (see #39336).
I had to test the package manually by starting the daemon locally,
however this doesn't ensure that the module is still functional.
In order to cover the package *and* the integration with the NixOS
module I thought that adding a testcase might be the best idea.
The current testcase does the following things:
* Starts an `osqueryd` service in a test machine with customized logger
path and PID file
* Ensures that the `osqueryd.service` unit is running
* Checks if the customized flags (`pidfile`, `logger_path`) are applied
to `osquery`.
* Performs a simple test query against the `etc_hosts` database to check
if the basic funcitonality of `osquery` (storing system information into
a database) works fine.
