Wolfgang Walther 83c533e557 nix: refactor derivation tests for static package
Instead of rolling our own, we can use some tooling from nix / nixpkgs.

We drop the "statically linked" check, because our goal is to compile
mostly-static executables to darwin, too. However, those will never be
fully static, because they always link to the platform's libc.
