Documentation: NixOS VM tests on macOS #254552

Description

@fricklerhandwerk

Problem

#108984 added the capability running NixOS VM tests from macOS, but it seems nowhere documented. There is the virtualisation.host.pkgs option, but that seems not to be related to the VM test implementation. How does one set up NixOS VM tests on macOS so we can advertise and teach it on nix.dev?

Proposal

Add an example and some prose to the options documentation of the test driver.
