--nix-option is not taken into account

[datafoo]

I tried to build a machine with Colmena but I could not because I did not manage to set 'sandbox' to 'relaxed' despite using --nix-option.

In fact --nix-option seems to have no effect at all:

How can I build my machine with Colmena?

[NeverBehave]

Per #126 , could you try the following?

colmena build --verbose -- --option sandbox relaxed

[datafoo]

$ colmena build --verbose -- --option sandbox relaxed
error: unexpected argument 'sandbox' found

Usage: colmena build [OPTIONS]

For more information, try '--help'.

[datafoo]

I cannot reproduce. My updated colmena test now allows me to run colmena build and colmena build --nix-option sandbox relaxed successfully.

I do not know why I assumed the compilation error was due to the sandbox.
