This does not include any automation for the release branch, but

This was broken since a03bb4455c because
Nix 2.18 does not support broken $SHELL settings. So don't try a
broken $SHELL on old Nix versions. (It's a mystery though why
tests.remoteBuilds_local_nix_2_13 and tests.remoteBuilds_local_nix_2_3
didn't fail...)

Setting it to /bin/sh will make it more predictable when users have
their favorite shell in SHELL, which might not behave as expected.
For instance, a bad rc file could send something to stdout before
our LocalCommand gets to write "started".
This may help https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11010
This should make the test more robust, considering the strange hang
in https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267517233/nixlog/8
`builder` seems to have reached `multi-user.target` before the
SSH connection was established, but this seems to be coincidental.
This does tell us that enforcing this has a minimal cost in terms
of runtime.
Waiting for `multi-user.target` on the client is honestly paranoid,
but flaky tests are very bad for productivity.
Trying to learn more about enigmatic spurious hang at
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267517233/nixlog/8
- builder1 seems to have started properly
- ssh connection and session are established
- ssh client doesn't exit or client.succeed does not return
for some reason.
Seeing the stdout on the console might give a tiny bit more info.
