Motivation for this change

netbsd.sys: actually build the kernel

Before, we were only building the headers, firmware, and bootloader.

CONFIG could be overridden to use another pre-defined kernel, but
there's no way to pass a custom kernel configuration yet.

Tested booting the built kernel in a NetBSD VM.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

We need the source directory of this package for config(1), so we
might as well just package it.
