feat(ops/pipelines): Dynamically generate CI pipeline from targets r/1747

Create the pipeline by outputting a file that contains nix-build
invocations for each target's *derivation path*.

Each invocation has a generated Nix expression passed to it with `-E`
which fetches the correct target from the tree while correctly
handling targets with strange characters (such as in Go-packages).

This makes it possible to run target-level granular pipelines. We're
getting somewhere!
