Add /etc/nsswitch.conf to helper on docker executor to read /etc/hosts when upload artifacts

What does this MR do?

Add /etc/nsswitch.conf when building image of runner_helper image.

Why was this MR needed?

In case of GitLab on closed network, it is necessary adding extra hosts to gitlab-runner's container setting config.toml. However after test & build, when upload artifacts to GitLab by runner-helper container, it contains the extra hosts at /etc/hosts file but it is not read by uploader.

To Solve this problem, I added config to nsswitch.conf that read /etc/hosts primarily when resolve hosts.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
