feat(ops/pipelines): Add gcroots for depot builds on canon r/2477

Adds a conditional build step that only runs on the canon branch, and
only if :duck: (the status reporting step) succeeds, which creates a
new Nix GC root for all depot targets named `depot-canon`.

In practice this might be a bit racey, as canon builds are not
guaranteed to succeed in order (though it is likely). This shouldn't
matter much in practice: We only want to prevent rebuilds of the whole
world.

This fixes b/102
