* docs: specify that flake.lock files are JSON Recently, I decided that I was going to write some code that would parse flake.lock files. I went to the Nix Reference Manual in order to look up information on the format of flake.lock files, and I realized that a key detail was missing from the Nix Reference Manual: it never says that flake.lock files are JSON files. This commit fixes that issue. This commit makes sure to specify that flake.lock files are encoded in UTF-8. Confusingly, there’s multiple different JSON standards. Neither ECMA-404, 2nd Edition [1] nor ISO/IEC 21778:2017 [2] mention UTF-8. RFC 8259 requires UTF-8, but only sometimes [3]. I chose to explicitly specify that flake.lock files are UTF-8 in order to avoid any possible ambiguities from the JSON standards.
