Merge #161

161: Multi-arch support for hosts(nixosConfigurations) r=nrdxp a=Pacman99

fixes #72 

also related, #125 

This allows users to set `nixpkgs.system` to any architecture exported by the nixpkgs flake and nixpkgs.pkgs will be set to that system.

I also added `multiPkgs` as a special arg and made `nixpkgs.pkgs` a default. So if someone wanted to do crossSystem builds or anything else with pkgs, that is also an option(eg. mobile-nixos!!).
