Revert "Making nixos keep a ref to its stdenv"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit d170c98d13a7b622c57c9b9f727a6bfec95a9181.

niksnut argues that we need smaller system closures, not bigger.

So users facing the trouble of getting gcc rebuilds after nix-collect-garbage
for any minimal nixos configuration change should use other means of
not losing the stdenv output.

One way is to keep one somewhere: nix-build -A stdenv -o stdenv '<nixpkgs>'.
Another may be to use nix.conf options like gc-keep-outputs, gc-keep-derivations
or env-keep-derivations.
