Fix a race condition in hydra-update-gc-roots

Browse source 
Since it read the actual roots after determining the set of desired
roots, there was a possibility that it would delete roots added by
hydra-evaluator or hydra-build while hydra-update-gc-roots was
running.  This could cause a derivation to be garbage-collected before
the build was performed, for instance.  Now the actual roots are read
first, so any root added after that time is not deleted.
