build: add root dir to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

Nix patches cmake to remove the root directory `/` from
`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH`:
428b49b28e/pkgs/by-name/cm/cmake/001-search-path.diff (L10)

Without this, and when using the toolchain for depends builds, cmake's
`find_path()` and `find_package()` do not know where to find
dependencies, causing issues like:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/32428

Adding this path back via CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is harmless on other
systems, and fixes the toolchain for Nix users.

We append the `/` dir a maximum of once, as the toolchain may be called
repeatedly during builds.
