default-crate-overrides.nix: prevent `git fetch`

The build.rs script shipped with evdev-sys attempts to detect cross
compilation and uses a completely different codepath which does a
`git fetch` inside the build script.  This doesn't work in nixpkgs.

This PR adds a `touch libevdev/.git` to trick the `build.rs` into
thinking that it is not necessary to do a `git fetch`.

Thanks to @figsoda for finding this more-elegant solution to the
problem (my original solution needed to patch `build.rs`):

Tested on:
- [x] `aarch64-linux` (cross from `x86_64-linux`)
