Replace writeReferencesToFile with writeClosure.
Make writeClosure accept a list of paths instead of a path.
Re-implement with JSON-based exportReferencesGraph interface provided by
__structuredAttrs = true.
Reword the documentation.

The build log of the following won't output `foo` as one might expect, but the
`$PATH` set by stdenv.
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" { PATH = "foo"; } "echo $PATH; touch $out"
```
Please Nix CI (OfBorg) with empty set instead of null on non-linux platforms,
where NixOS tests are not supported.

Define package `testScriptBin` that contains the substituted test script.
* Add an `installCheckPhase` to check the result script with ShellCheck.
* Passthru as `references.testScriptBin` to run the
(substituted) test script directly (without VM).
* Drop the logic in build script that detects if
it is run in the Nix sandbox.
* Inline sample application; drop invoke-*.nix.
Format expressions.
* Format with `nixpkgs-fmt`.
* Use multi-line style of set patterns.
Call the samples with `callPackage`.
* Rename `sample` -> `samples`.
* Take individual packages / build helpers directly from the
set pattern.
* Define `cleanSamples` to filter out overriders such as `<pkg>.override`.
added by `callPackage`.
Passthru samples and invocation results for easier debugging.
* Passthru samples, references, directReferences
* Provide tests.trivial-builders.writeStringReferencesToFile with such
samples argument.
Derivations built with `writeShellScriptBin`
should always be runnable with `nix run`. At present,
the derivation is missing both `meta.mainProgram`
and `pname`– this means that `nix run` falls back
to inferring the bin path from `name`. This is
unreliable and depends on faulty heuristics.
For context, reference the following snippet from
`nix run --help`:
If installable evaluates to a derivation, it will try to execute the
program <out>/bin/<name>, where out is the primary output store path
of the derivation, and name is the first of the following that exists:
· The meta.mainProgram attribute of the derivation.
· The pname attribute of the derivation.
· The name part of the value of the name attribute of the derivation.
Currently all packages defined by a call to runCommand have their
meta.position pointing to trivial-builders.nix.
This change makes uses of runCommand that supply at least one attribute
in the second argument point to the right file.
While searching for something different I wondered why there is a
trivial-builders.nix file next to the trivial-builders directory where
only tests live. Lets fix that.
Set the executable bit before running the check phase, so that the check
phase can run the script to test its behaviour.
This aligns with what `concatTextFile` is doing.
Also use explicit `if` statements so that we don't silently ignore
`chmod` failures.
The command
```
nix-build -A tests.trivial-builders.references --show-trace
```
fails eval with
```
in job ‘nixpkgs.tests.trivial-builders.references’:
error: The option `meta.description' does not exist. Definition values:
- In `makeTest parameters': "Run the Nixpkgs trivial builders tests"
```
because `meta.description` and `meta.license` are not valid for
`nixosTest`s (they are valid for `mkDerivation` of course).
This has been causing Hydra eval failures:
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/pr-209870-gcc-external-bootstrap#tabs-errors
Let's fix eval by removing these attributes.
