[nix] move test to derivation inside gcd vcs

For all chipsalliance CI runner, RestrictNamespaces and RestrictSUIDSGID
properties are set for best safety ensurance. So running VCS directly
inside the GitHub Runner is not possible.

This commit give an example of how to get out of the boundary of the
GitHub Action by integrating all simulation into derivation.
