Multiple CI improvements:

* Install cross the easy way, via cargo
* Don't test in release mode.  Nix contains no release-dependent paths,
  and release mode testing has to my knowledge never revealed a bug in
  Nix.
* Add Linux powerpc back to CI, fixed by the latest cross.
* Check the tests even on platforms that can't run them.
* DRY for the Illumos and Redox sections
* Cross-check iOS from a Linux VM instead of OSX
* Revert the workaround for rust-lang/rustup issue 2774
