Linus Heckemann 52ef1181f0 build: fix cross-compilation
We need capnproto-lix to be provided by callPackage, otherwise it won't
be spliced and the same (built for the cross host platform) for both
buildInputs (correct) and nativeBuildInputs (incorrect). We thus move it
into the overlay.

A similar problem exists for the lowdown build. We thus use callPackage
to override it as well. This is horrible (especially because it means we
need to pass the enableDarwinSandbox package argument through
ourselves), but at least it builds...
