Conversation
Sometimes, we want to use the host nix store for everything because it's more convenient. To do so, we need to "not install" the nix store in the target disk image. We trick nixos-install by mount binding the host nix store into the $root/nix folder and letting Nix do the idempotency thing.

Description of changes
Sometimes, we want to use the host nix store for everything because it's more convenient.
To do so, we need to "not install" the nix store in the target disk image.
We trick nixos-install by mount binding the host nix store into the $root/nix folder and letting Nix do the idempotency thing.
It's unfinished : the mount is visible only *inside the namespace, we run nixos-install outside of it.
