Tuomas Tynkkynen 487be791d7 nixos/make-ext4-fs: Use closureInfo
exportReferencesGraph is deprecated and doesn't have the generated
initial Nix database contain the SHA256 of the contents of the store
paths, which breaks various things under Nix 2.0.

# Populate the image contents by piping a bunch of commands to the `debugfs` tool from e2fsprogs.
# For example, to copy /nix/store/abcd...efg-coreutils-8.23/bin/sleep:
# cd /nix/store/abcd...efg-coreutils-8.23/bin
# write /nix/store/abcd...efg-coreutils-8.23/bin/sleep sleep
# sif sleep mode 040555
# sif sleep gid 30000
# In particular, debugfs doesn't handle absolute target paths; you have to 'cd' in the virtual
# filesystem first. Likewise the intermediate directories must already exist (using `find`
# handles that for us). And when setting the file's permissions, the inode type flags (__S_IFDIR,
# __S_IFREG) need to be set as well.
