feat(nix/yants): add restrict r/2050

`restrict` uses a predicate function to restrict a type, giving the
restricting a descriptive name in the process.

First, the wrapped type definition is checked (e.g. int) and then the
value is checked with the predicate, so the predicate can already
depend on the value being of the wrapped type.
