nixos/stage-1: fix `modprobe` in initial ramdisk on systems w/glibc-2.34

This effectively fixes the majority of all VM tests which were broken
because `/dev/vda` (or any other block device) wasn't mountable:

This happened because the kernel failed to load modules such as `ext4`
from `boot.initrd.availableKernelModules`[1] on e.g. a `mount(2)` syscall.

The problem is that `kmod` isn't linked against `libpthread.so.0`
anymore because it got merged into `libc.so.6` (however, the .so still
exists), but still needs it:

This is not a problem

* inside stage-1 because `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` points to `$out/lib` of
  extra-utils where `libpthread.so.6` also exists.
* on a running system because `${pkgs.glibc}/lib` is part of kmod's
  rpath.

However this is a problem inside the kernel which calls `modprobe` (in
our case `kmod`) to load modules and doesn't know about
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. Also, the rpath-reference was nuked.

To work around this, the kernel's `modprobe`
(i.e. `/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe`) now points to a wrapper which
explicitly declares `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. We can't use `makeWrapper` here
because `modprobe` itself must not be renamed. Otherwise, `kmod` (which
is the link-target of `modprobe`) won't work because it expects
`argv[0] == "modprobe"` to perform modprobe's tasks.
