John Ericson edf3ecc497 Document JSON formats
Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to
use them.

Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a
store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet
exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off
merging this now as is.

Description

This command reads from standard input a JSON representation of a store derivation to which an installable evaluates.

Store derivations are used internally by Nix. They are store paths with extension .drv that represent the build-time dependency graph to which a Nix expression evaluates.

nix derivation add takes a single derivation in the following format:

{{#include ../../json/derivation.md}}
