John Ericson 91b6833686 Move tests to separate directories, and document
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:

- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
  built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
  of Nix proper.

- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:

  - It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
    it needs the libraries.

  - It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
    DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
    with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!

This reorg solves these problems.

There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

John Ericson ab822af0df Factor out serialization for BuildResult
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.

John Ericson e36c9175f4 Add protocol versions to {Worker,Serve}Proto::*Conn
This will allow us to factor out logic, which is currently scattered
inline, into several reusable instances

The tests are also updated to support versioning. Currently all Worker
and Serve protocol tests are using the minimum version, since no
version-specific serialisers have been created yet. But in subsequent
commits when that changes, we will test individual versions to ensure
complete coverage.

John Ericson f7b8f8aff6 Introduce separate Serve protocol serialisers
To start, it is just a clone of the common protocol. But now that we
have the separate protocol implementations, we can add versioning
information without the versions of one protocol leaking into another.

Using the infrastructure from the previous commit, we don't have to
duplicate code for shared behavior.

Motivation: No more perverse incentives. [0] did some awkward things
because the serialisers did not store the version. I don't want anyone
making changes to be pushed towards keeping the serialization logic with
the core data types just because it's easier or the alternative is
tedious.

The actual versioning of the Worker and Serve protocol serialisers
(Common remains unversioned as the underlying mini-protocols are not
versioned) will happen in subsequent commits / PRs.
