Provide a proper type error in the following situation. Otherwise, /dev/zero would be read during evaluation; see NixOS/nix#11764.

nix-repl> (nixos { swapDevices = [ "/dev/zero" ]; boot.loader.grub.enable = false; fileSystems."/".device = "x"; }).config.system.build.toplevel

       error: Definitions for swapDevices items must be submodules, normally either { device = "…"; } or { label = "…"; }, but got a definition that is just "/dev/zero"

This should probably merge with either instead of a typeMerge, and support multiple coercion functions that way.

(not the original goal of this PR at all though...)
