feat/towards writer extension point #258

Closed blaggacao closed 6 months ago

Context

https://github.com/lilydjwg/nvchecker/pull/253 prototypes a "writer" implementation.

It takes a version result and not only updates references but then also mutates the code base on the basis of the newly obtained references.

A Nix writer is certainly no good in-tree use case.

Hence, this PR tries to conceptualize a potential extension point for downstream packages which could implement writer implementations similarly as, today, nvfetcher_source provides source implementations.

I've also got rid of the Result & VersData types. Now rich results are recorded in verfiles.
