test(tvix): nix-planned test verification using C++ Nix 2.3 and 2.11 r/5162

Reimplement the test discovery of the lang tests script in Nix which
allows for a more flexible skipping logic that can e.g. react to the C++
Nix version used. This allows us to run the test suite against both
C++ Nix 2.3 and the latest C++ Nix version 2.11. The latter is mainly
useful, so we can implement newer Nix features and still verify them
against the C++ implementation.
