{activation-scripts,activate-system}: check gcroots before linking

When `nix.enable` is off, we don’t necessarily have an active
Nix installation, so there won’t necessarily be an active
`/nix/var/nix/gcroots` directory to link things into. NixOS just skips
this unconditionally when `nix.enable` is off, but that doesn’t
work well with a context in which we usually expect `nix.enable`
to be coupled with an unmanaged system installation of Nix.

(cherry picked from commit 731910a)
