feat(tvix/docs): switch to mdbook r/7645
Some of the docs are still outdated (like architecture and drv path
inconsistencies).

-
-User-->CLI: User initiates build of `hello` (analogous to `nix-build -f '<nixpkgs>' -A hello`)
-
-CLI-->Coord: CLI invokes coordinator
-
-Coord-->Eval: Sends message to start evaluation of `<nixpkgs>` (path lookup) with attribute `hello`
-note right: The paths to the evaluator are local file system paths
-
-Coord<--Eval: Yields derivations to be built
-note right
-    Immediately starts streaming derivations as they are instantiated across
-    the dependency graph so they can be built while the evaluation is still running.
-
-    There are two types of build requests: One for regular "fire and forget" builds,
-    and another for IFD (import from derivation).
-
-    These are distinct because IFD needs to be fed back into the evaluator for
-    further processing while a regular build does not.
-end note
-
-loop while has more derivations
-
-    Coord-->Store: Check if desired paths are in store
-    alt Store has path
-        Coord<--Store: Success response
-    else Store does not have path
-        Coord-->Build: Request derivation to be built
-
-        alt Build failure
-            Coord<--Build: Fail response
-            note left: It's up to the coordinator whether to exit on build failure
-        else Build success
-            Build-->Store: Push outputs to store
-            Build<--Coord: Send success & pushed response
-        end
