Nest configuration beneath socrates directory Create a socrates directory to store configuration for socrates.

Incorporate NixOS configuration TL;DR: - Move /etc/nixos/configuration.nix -> //nixos/configuration.nix - Move /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix -> //nixos/harware.nix - Document installer.nix - Create rebuild.nix wrapper around `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` Previously I sketched ideas for the configuration.nix for socrates -- also known as flattop -- the inexpensive Acer laptop residing in my flat and stored that configuration.nix file in briefcase. Now, however, I have successfully installed NixOS onto socrates. By default NixOS saves the configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix files to /etc/nixos/. I'm moving both of these files into briefcase. Because the command `nixos-rebuild` looks for the NixOS configuration file in /etc/nixos, I wrote rebuild.nix, which creates a program to call `nixos-rebuild` with the new location of my configuration.nix.

Rename socrates/default.nix -> socrates/configuration.nix readTree uses the output attribute set of default.nix as the value for nixos.socrates, which disables me from resolving nixos.socrates.rebuild since there is no rebuild attribute in the output attribute set from default.nix. If I rename default.nix -> configuration.nix, I can resolve nixos.socrates.{configuration,hardware,rebuild}.

Expose depot and briefcase to rebuild script At the moment, I don't think nixos-rebuild is reading $NIX_PATH, which appropriately sets the paths for depot and briefcase. I'm going to explicitly expose these values in the rebuild script for now.
