91b6833686 Move tests to separate directories, and document
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:

- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
  built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
  of Nix proper.

- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:

  - It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
    it needs the libraries.

  - It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
    DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
    with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!

This reorg solves these problems.

There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

be81764320 Factor out bits of the worker protocol to use elsewhere
This introduces some shared infrastructure for our notion of protocols.
We can then define multiple protocols in terms of that notion.
We an also express how particular protocols depend on each other.

For example, we can define a common protocol and a worker protocol,
where the second depends on the first in terms of the data types it can
read and write.

The "serve" protocol can just use the common one for now, but will
eventually need its own machinary just like the worker protocol for
version-aware serialisers

6910f5dcb6 Generate API docs with Doxygen
The motivation is as stated in issue #7814: even though the the C++ API
is internal and unstable, people still want it to be well documented for
sake of learning, code review, and other purposes that aren't predicated
on it being stable.

Fixes #7814
