fix(third_party): Pick Emacs from stable NixOS channel r/811

Emacs is currently subtly broken on nixos-unstable, but I don't care
about debugging that.

To work around it, this reintroduces the NixOS stable channel (20.03)
but as a separate attribute set from which attributes like Emacs can be
picked into //third_party.
