feat(nix-compat/narinfo/signature): generalize name field r/8540

Requiring `name` to be a `&str` means it'll get annoying to pass around
`Signature`, but being able to pass them around in an owned fashion is
kinda a requirement for a stronger typed `PathInfo` struct, where we
want to have full ownership.

Rework the `Signature` struct to become generic over the type of the
`name` field. This means, it becomes possible to have owned versions
of it.

We don't want to impose `String` or `SmolStr` for example, but want to
leave it up to the nix-compat user to decide.

Provide a type alias for the existing `&str` variant (`SignatureRef`),
and use it where we previously used the non-generic `Signature` one.

Add some tests to ensure it's possible to *use* `Signature` with both
`String` and `SmolStr` (but only pull in `smol_str` as dev dependency
for the tests).

Also, add some more docstrings, these were a bit sparse.
