refactor(3p/nix): Abstract away concrete bindings impl

To pave the way for the thing we want to do eventually which is use a
linear-time array for bindings (aka attribute sets) that are statically
known to be small enough to get a performance benefit from doing so,
make the Bindings class abstract, and define a BTreeBindings class that
inherits from it and is (currently always) returned from the static
initializer. The idea is that we'll have an ArrayBindings class as well
later that we can dispatch to conditionally based on an optional
"capacity" parameter or something like that.

There was some difficulty here in getting the iterator to work - the
approach we settled on ended up making a concrete BindingsIterator class
which will wrap a std::variant of either a btree iterator or something
else later, but right now just wraps a btree iterator.
