chore(3p/nix): unvendor tvix 0.1 r/4098
Nothing is using this now, and we'll likely never pick this up again,
but we learned a lot in the process.

Every now and then this breaks in some bizarre way on channel bumps
and it's just a waste of time to maintain that.

-
-<para><command>nix-copy-closure</command> gives you an easy and
-efficient way to exchange software between machines.  Given one or
-more Nix store <replaceable>paths</replaceable> on the local
-machine, <command>nix-copy-closure</command> computes the closure of
-those paths (i.e. all their dependencies in the Nix store), and copies
-all paths in the closure to the remote machine via the
-<command>ssh</command> (Secure Shell) command.  With the
-<option>--from</option>, the direction is reversed:
-the closure of <replaceable>paths</replaceable> on a remote machine is
-copied to the Nix store on the local machine.</para>
-
-<para>This command is efficient because it only sends the store paths
-that are missing on the target machine.</para>
-
-<para>Since <command>nix-copy-closure</command> calls
-<command>ssh</command>, you may be asked to type in the appropriate
-password or passphrase.  In fact, you may be asked
-<emphasis>twice</emphasis> because <command>nix-copy-closure</command>
-currently connects twice to the remote machine, first to get the set
-of paths missing on the target machine, and second to send the dump of
-those paths.  If this bothers you, use
-<command>ssh-agent</command>.</para>
