darwin.linux-builder: Expose nixosConfig and nixosOptions attributes
I chose not to do nixos.{config, options} because that would make it look too much like a configuration object, which it is not. A configuration object I would define as for example the result of calling NixOS, an attrset with `_type = "configuration";`. Recreating a configuration object without evalModules is quite feasible but not guaranteed to be correct, and not maintainable.
