refactor(tvix/nix-compat/nixhash): validate digest lengths r/6512

There was a NixHash::new() before, which didn't perform any validation
of the digest length. We had some length validation when parsing nix
hashes or SRI hashes, but some places didn't perform validation and/or
constructed the struct directly.

Replace NixHash::new() with a
`impl TryFrom<(HashAlgo, Vec<u8>)> for NixHash`,  which does do this
validation, and update constructing code to use that, rather than
populating structs directly. In some rare cases where we're sure the
digest length is correct we still populate the struct manually.

Fixes b/291.
