nixForLinking: init
Overlays for CppNix nightly, Lix, or Tvix want to change the default Nix
implementation in Nixpkgs by overriding `pkgs.nix`. However, some
packages link against the internal/unstable CppNix APIs directly, and
these packages will break if built with different versions or
implementations of Nix.
If you want to swap out the Nix implementation in your package set, you
don't want these packages to break. Therefore, some packages will refer
to `nixForLinking` explicitly, at least until these dependencies can be
sorted out.
The addition of an explicit `nixForLinking` attribute decoupled from
`nix`, which is just "a Nix implementation", will help Nix
implementation maintainers test Nix implementations in Nixpkgs with
minimal hassle.
