Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
...
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

* Use the regular GRUB menu builder for Amazon. There are two issues:
...
we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
(because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").
