This builtin is only going to cause us problems because we are not Nix, so let's just falsify being in the 2.18 series, since that is the closest target that has any meaning. In future we might want to have a better feature detection mechanism, for when we actually add stuff to some builtin's attr set argument. But builtins.nixVersion is just going to be hopelessly broken and it should be stubbed out.
