regnat 93eadd5803 Make the post-build-hook use the daemon Nix package
Having the `post-build-hook` use `nix` from the client package can lead
to a deadlock in case there’s a db migration to do between both, as a
`nix` command running inside the hook will run as root (and as such will
bypass the daemon), so might trigger a db migration, which will get
stuck trying to get a global lock on the DB (as the daemon that ran the
hook already has a lock on it).
