Use buildprefix in a few more places

`installcheck` doesn't yet work, but the rest of the build can now
happen mostly inside a separate build directory.

Progress on #9342

Cross-compiled builds are available for ARMv6 (`armv6l-linux`) and ARMv7 (`armv7l-linux`).
Add more [system types](#system-type) to `crossSystems` in `flake.nix` to bootstrap Nix on unsupported platforms.
### Building for multiple platforms at once
It is useful to perform multiple cross and native builds on the same source tree,
for example to ensure that better support for one platform doesn't break the build for another.
In order to facilitate this, Nix has some support for being built out of tree that is, placing build artefacts in a different directory than the source code:
1. Create a directory for the build, e.g.
```bash
mkdir build
```
2. Run the configure script from that directory, e.g.
```bash
cd build
../configure <configure flags>
```
3. Run make from the source directory, but with the build directory specified, e.g.
```bash
make builddir=build <make flags>
```
## System type
Nix uses a string with he following format to identify the *system type* or *platform* it runs on:
