Emily 31d1d80b3f lib/systems: move kernel configuration out of the platform structure
Currently, you need to override `stdenv.hostPlatform` to request a
compressed kernel on AArch64, and the kernel configuration is split
between the central structured configuration and string snippets in
platform definitions. This has consequently made the latter bitrot
terribly. Since the platform‐specific logic is now very limited after
cleaning up the detritus, we can move it into the kernel derivation
and expose the relevant configuration there for anyone who wants to
customize it further or needs to read it out.

# Note: lib/systems/default.nix takes care of producing valid,
# fully-formed "platform" values (e.g. hostPlatform, buildPlatform,
# targetPlatform, etc) containing at least the minimal set of attrs
# required (see types.parsedPlatform in lib/systems/parse.nix). This
# file takes an already-valid platform and further elaborates it with
# optional fields; currently these are: gcc, and rustc.
