nixos/build-vms: propagate file location
When trying to build a VM using `nixos-build-vms` with a configuration
that doesn't evaluate, an error "at `<unknown-file>`" is usually shown.

This happens since the `build-vms.nix` creates a VM-network of
NixOS-configurations that are attr-sets or functions and don't contain
any file information. This patch manually adds the `_file`-attribute to
tell the module-system which file contained broken configuration:

```
$ cat vm.nix
{ vm.invalid-option = 1; }

$ nixos-build-vms vm.nix
error: The option `invalid-option' defined in `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/vm.nix@node-vm' does not exist.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```

nixos/nixos-build-vms: switch to python test-driver
In 0945178b3c we decided that Perl-based
VM tests should be deprecated and will be removed between 20.03 and
20.09. So let's switch `nixos-build-vms(8)` to python as well (which is
entirely interactive, so other scripts won't break).

In my experience, the test-driver isn't used most of the time, so this
patch is mainly supposed to get rid of the (probably misleading)
deprecation warning when running `nixos-build-vms`. Apart from that, the
interface for python's test-driver is way nicer.

nixos-build-vms: fix eval
Previously I got the following error message:

```
error: opening file '/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/default.nix': No such file or directory
```

Probably related to 6c68fbd4e1.

This way, the package set will be possible to pass without re-importing
