William Carroll 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.
