nixos/tests/virtualbox: Fix netcat invocation

This is a backwards-incompatibility in netcat-openbsd introduced due to
bumping the netcat version to 1.130 in
a72ba661acf54d1beb2b4e306acba7d6f45621c4.

Version 1.130 no longer exits on EOF but now needs to be passed the -N
flag in order to exit on EOF.

The upstream change reads[1] like this:

  Don't shutdown nc(1)'s network socket when stdin closes. Matches
  *Hobbit*'s original netcat and GNU netcat; revert to old behaviour
  with the new -N flag if needed. After much discussion with otto
  deraadt tedu and Martin Pelikan.  ok deraadt@
