lowdown 3.0.0 merged some flags into one to save on bits and did not add any aliases for backward compatibility. As with the changes for lowdown >= 1.4, we define a preprocessor flag to gate the changes on and add a job to CI to ensure that lowdown < 3.0 keeps working (which is used by NixOS 25.11). Unfortunately, we need to jump through some hoops to prevent nix and lix from upstream Nixpkgs from being rebuilt due to a changed lowdown. Since both implementation's packaging in Nixpkgs has their own package set / fix point now, we can't simply inherit them from `prev` since they will always be (re-)computed from the `final` fix point. As a consequence, we need to expose our changed lowdown version at a non-default attribute or break the builds of Nixpkgs derivations we test against.
