This adds a custom implementation of libnvidia-container that can resolve binaries (like `nvidia-smi`) correctly on NixOS. This needs to know the location of the binaries. Unfortunately, it is not possible to supply the package build with the correct paths from the Nix store, as the binaries are built in the driver package, which is specific to the host (i.e. the kernel), and thus is only known in the NixOS build, where we already need to have the package, creating a circular dependency. This adds a vendored version of said package with a workaoround that consist of just having it search in the NixOS PATH (i.e. `/run/current-system/sw`), which is fine, since we only use this package in NixOS-scenarios, but can't be upstreamed since it's incompatible with other distributions.
Make `libnvidia-container-custom` the default `libnvidia-container` in our NixOS build.

| Subject: [PATCH] fix library resolving |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't understand why this needs to be fixed in C code. Can't we just symlink the required binaries from an FHS directory?

Looking at this again, we should be able to get rid from this patch if we patch the PATH of the OCI hook that calls nvidia-container-cli. I will check that.

We should be able to drop it if we can get rid of this line upstream and use PATH instead.
