introduce importDir

avoid repeating myself

to create a new image, create a new folder under ./images that contains
a default.nix. That's it.

+## Adding new images
+
+To add a new image to the project, create a new folder under
+`./images/<image-name>` with a default.nix that returns the docker image.
+
+Then run `nix-build release.nix -A <image-name>` to test that it builds, and
+then use
+`docker load -i /nix/store/...<image-name>.tar.gz` to load and test the image.
