It does not belong with the data type itself.
This also materializes the fact that `copyPath` does not do any version
negotiation just just hard-codes "16".
The non-standard interface of these serializers makes it harder to test,
but this is fixed in the next commit which then adds those tests.
Worker Protocol:
Note that the worker protocol already had a serialization for
`BuildResult`; this was added in
a4604f1928. It didn't have any versioning
support because at that time reusable seralizers were not away for the protocol
version. It could thus only be used for new messages also introduced in
that commit.
Now that we do support versioning in reusable serializers, we can expand
it to support all known versions and use it in many more places.
The exist test data becomes the version 1.29 tests: note that those
files' contents are unchanged. 1.28 and 1.27 tests are added to cover
the older code-paths.
The keyered build result test only has 1.29 because the keying was also
added in a4604f19284254ac98f19a13ff7c2216de7fe176; the older
serializations are always used unkeyed.
Serve Protocol:
Conversely, no attempt was made to factor out such a serializer for the
serve protocol, so our work there in this commit for that protocol
proceeds from scratch.
It was some ad-hoc functions to account for versions, while the already
factored-out serializer just supported the latest version.
Now, we can fold that version-specific logic into the factored out one,
and so we do.
* docker: publish images to ghcr.io
docker.com announced their intention to remove the free plan used by
OSS. The nixos/nix image is essential to various CI runs to build with
nix. To provide a continuity plan, this commit pushes the image to
ghcr.io as well.

It is dead code. It was added in
8e0946e8df as part of the repeated /
enforce-determinism feature, but that was removed in
8fdd156a65.
It is not good because it skips many fields. For testing purposes we
will soon want to add a new one that doesn't skip fields, but we want to
make sure making == sensitive to those fields won't change how Nix
works. Proving in this commit that the old version is dead code achieves
that.
this also adds a hint to contributors about making far-reaching changes,
complementing the recent update to the maintainers' handbook on how to
deal with those.
GitHub now displays a banner and has a dedicated page[1] for good first
issues, but that uses a different label name as we had in place.
I renamed the label on GitHub, this is updating the link.

linking to the discourse category will by default show a view sorted by
most recent post, which makes it hard to find particular meeting notes.
this also adds a procedural detail about the notes, to make that more
explicit and less dependent on being present in the meetings.
