Download NixOS installation ISO

Notes:

1. I assume that latest stable (e.g. 19.03) ISO will be used for installation.
2. Check services.xserver.videoDrivers in desktop.nix. If you not sure it's better to remove the line completely.
3. Default network configuration is VPN-only, so if you don't have plans to use it you need to change iptables rules (remove iptables -P OUTPUT DROP from networking.nix) and remove services.openvpn.servers.vpn from networking.nix.
4. GUI settings is optimized for 3840x2160 on 15".
