b0e5a932ec docs(tvix): remove differences-drv-paths.md
This was true while we didn't do string contexts, but drvPath should not
differ anymore.

9bb3f74062 docs(tvix/docs): add document about drvPath differences
This question popped up every once in a while. While already explained
quite well at
https://inbox.tvl.su/depot/20230316120039.j4fkp3puzrtbjcpi@tp/T/#t,
it's not easily accessible.

Lift it from there into tvix/docs for better visibility.

8adc9c56f2 docs(tvix): document when pointer equality is preserved in C++ Nix
This explicitly documents behavior of C++ Nix that goes against the
intuition you'd gather from this document: that e.g. a simple select
from an attribute set causes a value to no longer be pointer equal to
its former self.

The point of documenting this is that we can show in a to be written
section on the use of pointer equality in nixpkgs that pointer equality
is only needed in a limited sense for evaluating it (C++ Nix's exterior
pointer equality). Tvix's pointer equality is far more powerful since
value identity preserving operations also preserve pointer equality,
generally speaking (this is because we implement interior pointer
equality in my made up terminology). This should eventually also be
documented.

864931b297 docs(tvix): start restructuring pointer equality document
I want to expand on the C++ Nix behavior, since it seems relevant to
note that a lot of operations in C++ Nix (like select) don't preserve
pointer equality (see
<https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3371#issuecomment-1596167957>).
It is especially so, as Tvix establishes pointer equality in a different
way and thus shows differing behavior. Therefore I want to additionally
document Tvix's current behavior and make it more explicit to what
extent nixpkgs needs pointer equality.

ca0bd84589 docs(tvix): add reconstructed changelog for the Nix language
This was put together by digging through the C++ Nix git history as
described in the second paragraph. Note that this is only based on
changes given when the language version was actually increased.

There is no guarantee that there have been no other changes inbetween
that would have warranted an increase as well.

internal model.

Thanks to store composition, lazy substitution and more efficient
transfer, we can also simplify some complicated logic while building.
