matthewcroughan 7bea56b425 stdenv/check-meta: add note for Flake usage
Flake users that use a command like `nix build nixpkgs#hello` on a
broken/insecure package will not be able to use an environment variable
to override that behavior, unless they pass `--impure` to the command.

a) To temporarily allow all insecure packages, you can use an environment

b) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ${getName attrs} to
`nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
like so:

"${getName attrs}"

c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
