Vincent Ambo d9168e3e4d refactor(build-image): Extract package set loading into helper
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.

# Load a Nix package set from a source specified in one of the following
# formats:

# 1. nixpkgs!$channel (e.g. nixpkgs!nixos-19.03)
# 2. git!$repo!$rev (e.g. git!git@github.com:NixOS/nixpkgs.git!master)

#
# '!' was chosen as the separator because `builtins.split` does not
# support regex escapes and there are few other candidates. It
# doesn't matter much because this is invoked by the server.
