nixos/plymouth: drop the X11 renderer in the initrd 

Previously, all available plymouth renderers were copied to the initrd,
including the X11 one. It is pretty much useless since the initrd is
exceedingly unlikely to run an X server, and causes the initrd closure to grow
by several large libraries (mostly Gtk and dependencies) and thus by a couple
of megabytes (over 5 MiB on my system). Remove it.
