Travis A. Everett 8f413d8a44 binlore: migrate override lore to package passthru
Lore overrides have been included with binlore's source up to now, but
this hasn't worked very well. (It isn't as easy to self-service for
people working in nixpkgs, and its use of partial pnames for matching
breaks down around some edge cases like version numbers appearing
early in perl pnames, or multiple packages having identical pnames.)

With this package, you get the commands like nixos-generate-config and
nixos-install that you would otherwise only find on a NixOS system, such
as an installer image.
This way, you can install NixOS using a machine that only has Nix.
