ops/nixos: Attempting to reference depot module argument fails with an infinite recursion error

#129

See https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/3136/1 and its associated build failure

  1. This was happening because NixOS seems to evaluate module arguments in two phases, the "special" arguments and the "normal" module arguments.

    Only the "special" arguments can be partially evaluated by the time module imports are resolved, so using this was required to make sure that we can use depot.path.

    See cl/3156 for details.
