gnu: Use gexps in obvious places in (gnu system ...).

* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-boot-script): Use 'gexp->file'
  instead of 'text-file*'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Likewise.
  (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script)[builder]: Turn into a gexp.
  Use 'gexp->derivation' instead of 'derivation-expression'.
