Subject: Emacs: Run with pure packages if installed via nix

This is not a perfect method of detection, but if I install emacs via
nix I'm almost certainly going to use my custom derivation.  Checking
the equality of system-name and emacs-build-system makes it more
likely to be correct, as a normal nix emacs build would probably
installed from a pre-built hydra package.
