we can't create these any more except by reading an old json-formatted
derivation that used them. since we cannot do anything with a deferred
derivation even when read we will remove json support for them as well

we no longer have any experimental features depending on ca derivations,
so we can start removing them. since ca derivations are very invasive we
will need a while to remove all of the explicitly experimental code, and
even then we will not have removed *all* code related to ca derivations.
especially in the derivation goals there is a lot of code that is not as
easy to disentangle from experimental features as some would have hoped.

with impure derivations gone we move on to dynamic derivations. this too
is not done in a single commit because dynamic derivations are invasive,
modifying semantics of all references to derivation output paths and all
derivation dependency calculations. removing dynamic derivations cleanly
is made significantly harder by the multiple did-you-mean-sum types, aka
"wrappers for std::variant", holding all derivation outpath information.

we don't remove the entire feature in one go to make review easier.
impure derivations are rather unintrusive on their own, at least if
we compare them to dynamic or ca derivations in general, so we will
be done with this soon. as it stands impure derivations cannot work
without ca derivations, and those we *really* want to leave behind.

or more accurately, wrap them in a nix::Error subclass so we can display
them properly without crashing, and add some error context if available.

this will become a proper specialization of `nlohmann::basic_json` soon.
specialing basic_json will let us get rid of our `adl_serializer` hacks,
and it'll open the door to better enum serializing behavior without also
forcing all those who use lix as a library to set certain defines (which
may not even be possible depending on how those users use json already).

this doesn't do much, just wrap a few nlohmann headers in headers of our
own (and delete includes we don't need because they're transitively seen
by other includes). doing this now will make the next change much nicer.

This has some Flaws for sure (like, it is going to be a bit stretched to
use for repl characterization), but it is a start.

Turn derivation unit tests into unit characterization tests

Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.
