79904056af Move buildkite's SSH key out of /home/wpcarro into /etc/ssh
After enabling buildkite-agent using NixOS, it runs as its own user,
buildkite-agent-socrates, which does not have its own home directory. I moved
the SSH key that I made when running buildkite-agent as wpcarro into /etc/ssh
and `chown`'d it for buildkite-agent-socrates.

60b8b83376 Enable services.buildkite-agents
Instead of enabling `buildkite-agent` ad hoc, use NixOS to configure it.

42efb3b08a Support build-briefcase.sh
For now, I'm supporting two CI pipelines:
- build-socrates
- build-briefcase

Conceptually, build-briefcase should cover what build-socrates does now, but
eventually I would like build-socrates to call `switch-to-configuration` so that
all of my websites, etc. stay fresh.

59f7481411 Revise previous opinions about absolute paths GT <bracket-notation>
Unforeseen problem: `buildkite-agent` runs its builds in a separate directory,
so if I want the `nix-build` command to build the newly checked out code, I need
to set <briefcase> to the CWD.

7833632a79 Attempt nix-build instead of nixos-rebuild switch
I've encountered a few problems with attempting to support nixos-rebuild:
- the activation step requires `sudo` privileges
- the `buildkite-agent` runs on the same machine, socrates, that is rebuilding
  itself. This means that when the activation step runs, it will attempt to
  restart `buildkite-agent` when the agent is still working

I'm slowly removing places in my nix code that rely on '<bracket>' notation, so
that I no longer depend on NIX_PATH being set. I still have more work to do.

{covid-uk,sandbox}/default.nix are breaking when I attempt to run my
build-socrates.sh script locally, so I'm temporarily disabling them until I can
get CI working as I expect.

c187d89f27 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}.

694ca4a85f Ensure socrates/default.nix is a function
Nix complains that `nixos.socrates` is not a function but a set. By adding
`{ ... }:` to the top of the file, I'm hoping to change it from a set to a
function.

6eb239dcce Manually require dependencies for <nixpkgs>, <briefcase>
When I build socrates using `sudo nixos-rebuild [...] switch`, my
`nixos-config` (i.e. <briefcase/nixos/socrates/default.nix>) is a simple Nix
anonymous function. Typically readTree populates my pkgs, briefcase, depot
function parameters with <nixpkgs>, <briefcase>, <depot>, but `nixos-rebuild` is
unaware of `readTree`.

For now I'm manually importing these dependencies, and I'm leaving a TODO to
reconsider switching to the `{ pkgs, briefcase, ... }` style when I better
understand NixOS.
