In our basic template we used to provide a check based on `mkTestDerivationFromNvim`. The issue with this check (that is handled correctly internally) is that some plugins _can't_ be used in the test environment, for example image.nvim like in nix-community#1085. This commit introduces a new function to generate such checks, `mkTestDerivationFromNixvimModule`, that wraps a nixvim configuration instead of a built nvim instance. Then a configuration can rely on the newly added `helpers.enableExceptInTests` attribute to disable parts of the configuration depending if it is evaluated in tests or in a real final configuration. Resolves nix-community#1085
