linux-boot: Handle nfs-root device strings.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (device-string->file-system-device): Support nfs-root "device" strings. * gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Support nfs-root "device" strings. * gnu/machine/ssh.scm (machine-check-file-system-availability): Avoid checking of NFS file systems. * gnu/system.scm (read-boot-parameters, device-sexp->device): Support nfs-root "device" strings.
