feat(nix-compat/wire): add low-level wire format primitives code r/7695

This brings some initial Nix wire format parsing code, used in the nix
daemon protocol, remote store/builder protocol, as well as the NAR
format itself (note we already have more specialized code for the last
one).

Thanks to embr, this code already exists, in
https://codeberg.org/gorgon/gorgon/src/branch/main/nix-daemon/src/wire.rs,
and we can vendor it into here, as EUPL is compatible with GPL (in that
direction).

The code uses the tokio::io Reader and Writer traits, not the ones from
the `futures` crate, as they provide some more convenient `read_u64_le`
functions.

More application-specific parsing code, as well as code to read strings,
or bytes are left out for now, as we want to be be more restrictive
w.r.t allowed max sizes, and need to parse bytes, not strings.

The code slightly diverges, as we have clippy looped into CI.
`Ok(…?)` can be turned into just the inner expression, and
some .and_then can be expressed in a simpler fashion.
