installer/cd-dvd/channel: allow to disable bundled channel

Browse Source 
When building kexec-based installer every mb saved will reduce the RAM usage and allow to install NixOS on smaller machines.
It also means that less data has to be downloaded from the network.
When using flakes or niv we no longer rely on nix channels beeing present
and when using something like nixos-anywhere, we no longer need to evaluate anything in the installer at all.
