Enable always-allow-substitutes by default

Browse source 
A typical CI machine will have fast internet access, but may not have
all the inputs already in the store to rebuild trivial derivations
marked with `allowSubstitutes = false`. This leads to expensive cycles
of downloads and rebuilds for derivations like the top-level NixOS
system, which will be rebuilt from scratch on every CI run, despite
being cached.
