zon2nix support #275

Hi,

I know nothing about zig. It seems like there's a new lockfile thing added in recent versions.

it would be fantastic if nix-update supported it like it does Cargo.lock prefetching, etc.

It would be ok to add this. I currently don't have a use-case for it. Ideally nixpkgs would expose some updater in passthru that could be called to update deps to minimize the code that needs to be added in nix-update (i.e. we ideally don't have to depend on zon2nix and packages can have their own version they want to use)
