87a0aaa77d feat(sterni/nix/utf8): implement UTF-8 encoding
This implementation is still a bit rough as it doesn't check if the
produced string is valid UTF-8 which may happen if an invalid Unicode
codepoint is passed.

eb41eef612 chore(nix): move rustSimple from users.Profpatsch.writers
I think it’s solid enough to use in a wider context.

8d4b2f3d54 refactor(sterni): use pkgs over third_party to import from nixpkgs
This should ease migrating to a distinction between depot.third_party
and pkgs (as in nixpkgs) in the future.

Ref cl/2910, b/108.

b810c46a45 feat(users/sterni/nix/utf8): pure nix utf-8 decoder
users.sterni.nix.utf8 implements UTF-8 decoding in pure nix. We
implement the decoding as a simple state machine which is fed one byte
at a time. Decoding whole strings is possible by subsequently calling
step. This is done in decode which uses builtins.foldl' to get around
recursion restrictions and a neat trick using builtins.deepSeq puck
showed me limiting the size of the thunks in a foldl' (which can also
cause a stack overflow).

This makes decoding arbitrarily large UTF-8 files into codepoints using
nix theoretically possible, but it is not really practical: Decoding a
36KB LaTeX file I had lying around takes ~160s on my laptop.
