nixos/nixos-installer: add flags for verbosity and build logs
When installing a fresh NixOS system it occasionally happens that you encounter issues that are rather hard to track down since `nixos-install(8)` doesn't provide any debugging flags. This patch adds `-L` to force `nix build` to display the build-log on stderr and `-v` to increase the log-level of Nix.
