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>Release 1.11 (2016-01-19)</title>
-
-<para>This is primarily a bug fix release. It also has a number of new
-features:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para><command>nix-prefetch-url</command> can now download URLs
-    specified in a Nix expression. For example,
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src
-</screen>
-
-    will prefetch the file specified by the
-    <function>fetchurl</function> call in the attribute
-    <literal>hello.src</literal> from the Nix expression in the
-    current directory, and print the cryptographic hash of the
-    resulting file on stdout. This differs from <literal>nix-build -A
-    hello.src</literal> in that it doesn't verify the hash, and is
-    thus useful when you’re updating a Nix expression.</para>
-
-    <para>You can also prefetch the result of functions that unpack a
-    tarball, such as <function>fetchFromGitHub</function>. For example:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz
-</screen>
-
-    or from a Nix expression:
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src
-</screen>
-
-    </para>
-
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>The builtin function
-    <function>&lt;nix/fetchurl.nix></function> now supports
-    downloading and unpacking NARs. This removes the need to have
-    multiple downloads in the Nixpkgs stdenv bootstrap process (like a
-    separate busybox binary for Linux, or curl/mkdir/sh/bzip2 for
-    Darwin). Now all those files can be combined into a single NAR,
-    optionally compressed using <command>xz</command>.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Nix now supports SHA-512 hashes for verifying fixed-output
-    derivations, and in <function>builtins.hashString</function>.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>
-      The new flag <option>--option build-repeat
-      <replaceable>N</replaceable></option> will cause every build to
-      be executed <replaceable>N</replaceable>+1 times. If the build
-      output differs between any round, the build is rejected, and the
-      output paths are not registered as valid. This is primarily
-      useful to verify build determinism. (We already had a
-      <option>--check</option> option to repeat a previously succeeded
-      build. However, with <option>--check</option>, non-deterministic
-      builds are registered in the DB. Preventing that is useful for
-      Hydra to ensure that non-deterministic builds don't end up
-      getting published to the binary cache.)
-    </para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>
-      The options <option>--check</option> and <option>--option
-      build-repeat <replaceable>N</replaceable></option>, if they
-      detect a difference between two runs of the same derivation and
-      <option>-K</option> is given, will make the output of the other
-      run available under
-      <filename><replaceable>store-path</replaceable>-check</filename>. This
-      makes it easier to investigate the non-determinism using tools
-      like <command>diffoscope</command>, e.g.,
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-build pkgs/stdenv/linux -A stage1.pkgs.zlib --check -K
-error: derivation ‘/nix/store/l54i8wlw2265…-zlib-1.2.8.drv’ may not
-be deterministic: output ‘/nix/store/11a27shh6n2i…-zlib-1.2.8’
-differs from ‘/nix/store/11a27shh6n2i…-zlib-1.2.8-check’
