feat(ops/nixos): Add generic rebuild-system script r/1221

This adds a first crack at one idea for a generic, non-user-specific
rebuild-system script to ops.nixos.rebuild-system. The idea here is that
we enumerate all the nixos systems stored in the monorepo (similarly to
what we do for ci-builds right now) then search through them by hostname
to find the one matching the hostname of the current system, which is an
attempt at a more generic version of tazjin's rebuilder script which
does the same thing but with an explicit case block.

As a caveat, it feels like there's a slight possibility that this way of
finding systems is going to get slow to evaluate - on my system it feels
fine but if it grows out of hand it's probably feasible to just bake
this into the built script as a dynamically generated case statement.
