nix flake {update,metadata,...}: shows input's narHash

[Kranzes]

Describe the bug

In a recent release the format of the input displayed in nix flake {update,metadata,...} was changed to include the input's narHash, I think that's a bit too verbose for something like the metadata/update commands. I'd like to have the previous format back.

NAR hashes for inputs are on their way out with #10252 or #6530, so sgtm.

NAR hashes for inputs are on their way out with https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10252 or https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6530, so sgtm.

To properly lock a GitHub input, we either need the narHash or treeHash, so those PRs won't solve the verbosity problem unfortunately.
