nixos/extra-layouts: avoid all rebuilds
Just setting the XKB_CONFIG_ROOT should be enough, so we don't need to
rebuild the xserver, xkbcomp and other packages anymore.
However, the variable has to be passed explicitely to scripts running at
build time: in particular to xkbvalidate and xkb-console-keymap.
