installer: simplify the per-build installation
...
The goal is to allow the installation and testing of arbitrary Nix
versions. Extend the base installer to accept a `--tarball-url-prefix
<url>` to change where the Nix tarball is getting downloaded from.
Once this is merged it should allow to:
1. Pick an evaluation at https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master that
looks healthy
2. Select the installedScript build and find the store path.
Now equipped with all of this, use an instance of nar-serve to fetch the
install script and release tarballs:
curl -sfL https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv-installer-script/install \
| sh --tarball-url-prefix https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store
Or with cachix, strip the /nix/store and derivation name and then:
curl -sfL https://mycache.cachix.org/serve/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv/install \
| sh --tarball-url-prefix https://mycache.cachix.org/serve

enable Darwin.arm64 to install x86_64 binary

Throwing @thefloweringash under the bus if this doesn't work, but it
sounds like Apple Silicon devices can use the x86_64 binary for now.

installer: don't require xz on darwin
...
On macOS the system tar has builtin support for lzma while xz isn't
available as a separate binary. There's no builtin package manager
there available either so having to install lzma (without nix) would be
rather painful.

Pass -J to tar for xz decompression
...
Some tar implementations can't auto-detect compression formats, so
they must be specified explicitly.

Compress binary tarballs using xz

Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/240 .
Apparently 'tar -xf' can decompress xz files on macOS nowadays.

install script: remove unportable command check, fixup errant escape
...
`which` isn't necessarily portable, but `command -v` is an equivalent form.
Additionally, the `\'` is not necessary, as it is already quoted by `"`.
