This commit adds plowshare to Nixpkgs. I built and tested it locally and it is working fine for me. However, I am wondering if the Nix expression is correct.

plowshare is just a bunch of Bash scripts which call other programs, e.g. curl. Mind that curl is not mentioned in plowshare's dependencies. I didn't perform any wrapping of the shell scripts. Does this make the Nix expression impure? What is the recommended way to improve this?

I was expecting that plowshare wouldn't work at all, but even after removing curl from my user account in NixOS it apparently picked up the right binaries. So I am a little confused if I should patch anything at all.

After some advice on the nix-dev mailing list I updated the branch and would like to get this merged into master if there are no other issues with the Nix expression.

All the checks are now aggregated in system.checks.text making it easy
to allow certain checks to be disabled as well as disabling them
alltogether if desired. eg.

    # Disable all checks.
    system.checks.text = mkForce "";

Fixes NixOS#117
