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.

-<title>Garbage Collector Roots</title>
-
-<para>The roots of the garbage collector are all store paths to which
-there are symlinks in the directory
-<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/nix/var/nix/gcroots</filename>.
-For instance, the following command makes the path
-<filename>/nix/store/d718ef...-foo</filename> a root of the collector:
-
-<screen>
-$ ln -s /nix/store/d718ef...-foo /nix/var/nix/gcroots/bar</screen>
-	
-That is, after this command, the garbage collector will not remove
-<filename>/nix/store/d718ef...-foo</filename> or any of its
-dependencies.</para>
-
-<para>Subdirectories of
-<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/nix/var/nix/gcroots</filename>
-are also searched for symlinks.  Symlinks to non-store paths are
-followed and searched for roots, but symlinks to non-store paths
-<emphasis>inside</emphasis> the paths reached in that way are not
-followed to prevent infinite recursion.</para>
