Simplifies the wrapper script used to invoke Nix builds from Nixery to
just contain the essentials, since the layer grouping logic is moving
into the server itself.
This is the first step towards a more granular build process where
some of the build responsibility moves into the server component.
Rather than assembling all layers inside of Nix, it will only create
the symlink forest and return information about the runtime paths
required by the image.
The server is then responsible for grouping these paths into layers,
and assembling the layers themselves.
Relates to #50.
Moves the relevant parts of the customisation layer construction from
dockerTools.mkCustomisationLayer into the Nixery code base.
The version in dockerTools builds additional files (including via
hashing of potentially large files) which are not required when
serving an image over the registry protocol.
Some upcoming changes might require the Nix build to be split into
multiple separate nix-build invocations of different expressions, thus
splitting this out is useful.
It also fixes an issue where `build-image/default.nix` might be called
in an environment where no Nix channels are configured.
Removes usage of the old layering algorithm and replaces it with the
new one.
Apart from the new layer layout this means that each layer is now
built in a separate derivation, which hopefully leads to better
cacheability.
Instead of requiring the server component to be made aware of the
location of the Nix builder via environment variables, this commit
introduces a wrapper script for the builder that can simply exist on
the builders $PATH.
This is one step towards a slightly nicer out-of-the-box experience
when using `nix-build -A nixery-bin`.
