Nix shells' `$NIX_BUILD_TOP` are shorter

fj#1044

Fixes

raito

Following the changes in 2.94.0 to shorten build directory paths, aimed at resolving UNIX domain socket length issues and improving nix-shell, we inadvertently introduced an excessively long path for the $NIX_BUILD_TOP environment variable used by Nix shells (their effective temporary /build directory).

To fix this, we replaced the build-top-$HASH directory name with simply build-top, reducing these paths by at least 30 characters.

We also added a test to ensure that Nix shells do not introduce more than 50 extra characters relative to their base directory (e.g., /tmp when $TMPDIR is not set).
