This effectively resets the attributes given at the point the main
<nixpkgs> is imported and thus for example is also reading in stuff like
~/.nixpkgs/config.nix again, which might lead to unexpected results.
We now only import <nixpkgs> now if the updater is auto-called (like in
update.sh), otherwise the required attributes are passed by callPackage
within the Chromium scope.
I remember noting about this a while ago either on IRC or on GitHub, but
I can't find it right now, so thanks to @obadz for reminding me about
this in #15225.
Tested this by running the updater and also using:
NIXPKGS_CONFIG=$(pwd)/broken.nix nix-instantiate --arg config {} -A chromium
The contents of broken.nix were:

Fixes: #15225
Just removing the system argument because it doesn't exist (it's
actually config.nixpkgs.system, which we're already using). We won't get
an error anyway if we're not actually using it, so this is just an
aesthetics fix.

Make sure that we always have everything available within the store of
the VM, so let's evaluate/build the test container fully on the host
system and propagate all dependencies to the VM.
This way, even if there are additional default dependencies that come
with containers in the future we should be on the safe side as these
dependencies should now be included for the test as well.

This partially reverts f2d24b9840.
Instead of disabling the channels via removing the channel mapping from
the tests themselves, let's just explicitly reference the stable test in
release.nix. That way it's still possible to run the beta and dev tests
via something like "nix-build nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A beta" and
achieve the same effect of not building beta and dev versions on Hydra.

It's not the job of Nixpkgs to distribute beta versions of upstream
packages. More importantly, building these delays channel updates by
several hours, which is bad for our security fix turnaround time.
