nixos/nixos-build-vms: switch to python test-driver
In 0945178b3c6fd9e33002dd6e3c6f77dfca49565a we decided that Perl-based
VM tests should be deprecated and will be removed between 20.03 and
20.09. So let's switch `nixos-build-vms(8)` to python as well (which is
entirely interactive, so other scripts won't break).
In my experience, the test-driver isn't used most of the time, so this
patch is mainly supposed to get rid of the (probably misleading)
deprecation warning when running `nixos-build-vms`. Apart from that, the
interface for python's test-driver is way nicer.
