Images with deleted timestamps break with Docker 26

[DmitriyLewen]

Discussed in #6944

^{Originally posted by aaronmondal June 15, 2024}

Description

GitHub updated the GHA runner's docker from 24 to 26 in actions/runner-images@619f9fd. Since then the trivy workflows in our repo broke.

Desired Behavior

Trivy working without the above patch.

Actual Behavior

2024-06-14T19:21:21+02:00       INFO    Vulnerability scanning is enabled

Reproduction Steps

Check out e.g. https://github.com/TraceMachina/nativelink/commit/bf9edc9c0a034cfedaa51f039123cb29278d3f7e, enter the nix environment and run `local-image-test`.

This effectively creates a container image with an erased timestamp that triggers the failure.
