feat(tvix/nix-compat): Add nix serialization support r/8893

This change implements the serialization part that is needed to
implement the nix daemon protocol. Previously was add deserialization
and derivers for that and this then adds the other part of that equation
so that you can write types that can then be read using deserialization.
