support jffs2, with initramfs
...
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.
this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup

not having to copy all the desired store paths into a
single directory just so we can create an image from them
