nixos/version: fix case where .git is a symlink
Before c9214c394b and
9d396d2e42 if .git is symlink the version
would gracefully default to no git revision. With those changes an
exception is thrown instead.

This introduces a new function `pathIsGitRepo` that checks if
`commitIdFromGitRepo` fails without error so we don't have to
reimplement this logic again and can fail gracefully.
