Revert "nixos-container: Use machinectl shell (#18825 )"

This reverts commit
c37e76b4d2. Unfortunately, using
"machinectl shell" has two bad side effects:

* It sends the command's stderr to stdout.

* It doesn't propagate the command's exit status.

This broke NixOps.

PR #18825.

nixos-container: Use machinectl shell (#18825 )

Using nsenter+su was suboptimal since the environment they provided was
not quite the same as the real container environment. See [1] for more
background.

Note that we directly invoke /bin/sh for `nixos-container root-login`
since setting the user's shell is quite complex. See [2] for a related
systemd issue.

nixos-containers: init package (#16959 )

This moves nixos-containers into its own package so that it can be
relied upon by other packages/systems. This should make development
using dynamic containers much easier.
