Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
...
This is primarily to ensure that
-I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz
and
-I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz
and
-I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz
behave consistently.
It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.
Fixes #7659 .

Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
...
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
