krops writeDeploy: pass --no-flake if /etc/nixos/flake.nix exists
nixos-rebuild deploys /etc/nixos/flake.nix instead of NIX_PATH if that
file exists, so deploying anything but a flake fails on such targets.
Without writeDeploy's flake parameter, nixos-rebuild gets --no-flake if
/etc/nixos/flake.nix exists on the build target. nixos-rebuild versions
predating flakes neither know --no-flake nor look for that file, so they
don't get it.
The deploy VM test covers targets with and without that file.
