Subject: [PATCH] Wrap NixOS build checks

NixOS build checks significantly slowed down `nix flake show` as it
prints out the derivation names, which for NixOS derivations requires a
large amount of evaluation. By wrapping the derivations, we now give
them trivial names. The NixOS configurations are still built when
running checks as they are a dependency of the wrappers.
