Aneesh Agrawal c8608c488c Dockerfile: Add alpine dependencies (#1011) 
* Dockerfile: add GNU tar native dependency

`builtins.fetchTarball` requires GNU tar to be available in the $PATH in
order to unpack the fetched tarball (there is a FIXME comment for this),
which Alpine does not ship by default (it ships BusyBox tar).

* Dockerfile: add GNU bash native dependency

`nix-shell` defaults to invoking `bash` from the $PATH for the subshell.
In theory this can be overriden with the NIX_BUILD_SHELL environment
variable, but this does not work properly. `nix-shell` generates and
passes a script (`$rcFile`) to be executed by the subshell which uses
bashisms (`source` and `shopt`). Additionally, in interactive mode,
`nix-shell` passes the `--rcfile` argument to the shell, which is
another bashism.

Because `bash` is thus de-facto required, add `bash` as a native package
dependency to make it available for `nix-shell`.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of it's purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
