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.

-The database is upgraded automatically, but you should be careful not
-to use old versions of Nix that still use Berkeley DB 4.3.  In

-
-<screen>
-$ nix-store --clear-substitutes</screen>

-first.</para></note>

-<warning><para>Also, the database schema has changed slighted to fix a
