On NixOS 24.05, `nixos-config` is not set in NIX_PATH[1] in flake based
setup , then the expr will cause an error:
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/lib>; (evalModules {modules = import <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/module-list.nix> ++ [ ];}).config'
```
...
error: Neither nixpkgs.hostPlatform nor the legacy option nixpkgs.system has been set.
...
```
Fix it by setting `nixpkgs.hostPlatform = builtins.currentSystem`.
