nixos-rebuild: add --impure flag

Browse source 
There are two use case for this flag:

1. NixOS developer usually use a nixpkgs checkout for development.
Copying nixpkgs everytime when rebuilding NixOS is way to slow, even
with NVME disks.

2. Folks migrating from impure configuration in a sufficient complex
infrastructure need this flag to gradually migrate to NixOS flakes.
