nixos-generate-config: Add --root option 

If this option is given, nixos-generate-config will write the
configuration to /etc/nixos under the given root, and only emit
fileSystems attributes for filesystems under the given root directory.

The typically use case is at installation time, where you can say:

  $ nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

which will create /mnt/etc/nixos/{configuration.nix,hardware-configuration.nix}.

Also add a --force flag to force overwriting configuration.nix.
