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 1.6.1 (2013-10-28)</title>
-
-<para>This is primarily a bug fix release.  Changes of interest
-are:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Nix 1.6 accidentally changed the semantics of antiquoted
-    paths in strings, such as <literal>"${/foo}/bar"</literal>.  This
-    release reverts to the Nix 1.5.3 behaviour.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Previously, Nix optimised expressions such as
-    <literal>"${<replaceable>expr</replaceable>}"</literal> to
-    <replaceable>expr</replaceable>.  Thus it neither checked whether
-    <replaceable>expr</replaceable> could be coerced to a string, nor
-    applied such coercions.  This meant that
-    <literal>"${123}"</literal> evaluatued to <literal>123</literal>,
-    and <literal>"${./foo}"</literal> evaluated to
-    <literal>./foo</literal> (even though
-    <literal>"${./foo} "</literal> evaluates to
-    <literal>"/nix/store/<replaceable>hash</replaceable>-foo "</literal>).
-    Nix now checks the type of antiquoted expressions and
-    applies coercions.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Nix now shows the exact position of undefined variables.  In
-    particular, undefined variable errors in a <literal>with</literal>
-    previously didn't show <emphasis>any</emphasis> position
-    information, so this makes it a lot easier to fix such
-    errors.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Undefined variables are now treated consistently.
-    Previously, the <function>tryEval</function> function would catch
-    undefined variables inside a <literal>with</literal> but not
-    outside.  Now <function>tryEval</function> never catches undefined
-    variables.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Bash completion in <command>nix-shell</command> now works
-    correctly.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Stack traces are less verbose: they no longer show calls to
-    builtin functions and only show a single line for each derivation
-    on the call stack.</para>
-  </listitem>
-
-  <listitem>
-    <para>New built-in function: <function>builtins.typeOf</function>,
-    which returns the type of its argument as a string.</para>
