dockerTools.buildImageWithNixDb: Make output paths valid and add gcroots

The database dump doesn't contain sha and size. This leads to invalid
path in the container. We have to fix the database by using
nix-store.
Note a better way to do this is available in Nix 1.12 (since the
database dump contains all required information).

We also add content output paths in the gcroots since they ca be used
by the container.
