We can't eval all nixos tests, this would be way too expensive. But we can evaluate `nixosTests.simple` as an indication whether the nixos test driver has changed. If that's the case, this means that *all* NixOS tests need to be rebuilt. (cherry picked from commit e3f583c)
This indicates that the NixOS test-driver changed and all NixOS tests have to be rebuilt. It can be used to either re-target to staging or to batch this with other similar changes, at least. (cherry picked from commit 63e6fc4)
This should be a test that will change whenever most likely *all* NixOS tests change. As such it should use the most "default" configuration possible. This decreases chances of a change that will affect almost other NixOS tests to go unnoticed by this test. With the minimal profile used previously, there could be changes made to the default behavior of NixOS modules which were explicitly disabled in this profile. These would not change the simple test, but would change all other tests. Removing as many moving parts as possible from this test should make it the most default it can be. It now contains only pieces that every other NixOS test has, too: A name, a machine and a testScript. But nothing fancy. (cherry picked from commit 6d90bae)

Manual backport of #439255
Conflict in the simple nixos test, because it was still using the old
