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>The command <command>nix-hash</command> computes the
-cryptographic hash of the contents of each
-<replaceable>path</replaceable> and prints it on standard output.  By
-default, it computes an MD5 hash, but other hash algorithms are
-available as well.  The hash is printed in hexadecimal.  To generate
-the same hash as <command>nix-prefetch-url</command> you have to
-specify multiple arguments, see below for an example.</para>
-
-<para>The hash is computed over a <emphasis>serialisation</emphasis>
-of each path: a dump of the file system tree rooted at the path.  This
-allows directories and symlinks to be hashed as well as regular files.
-The dump is in the <emphasis>NAR format</emphasis> produced by <link
-linkend="refsec-nix-store-dump"><command>nix-store</command>
-<option>--dump</option></link>.  Thus, <literal>nix-hash
-<replaceable>path</replaceable></literal> yields the same
-cryptographic hash as <literal>nix-store --dump
-<replaceable>path</replaceable> | md5sum</literal>.</para>
