Subject: [PATCH] feat(tvix/serde): add an example using nixpkgs/lib

This displays how users can configure an impure evaluation for
tvix-serde, which makes it possible to use e.g. `nixpkgs/lib`.

We might want to add an example showing how the full Nix-glue
compatibility stuff can be added here, too.
