use "source" for source names #379

this removes a difference to how Nix currently fetches flake references.

using a constant is preferrable because renaming the source won't force downstream rebuilds.

there probably is no correct solution here, as any choice for the symbolic name is essentially arbitrary, and arguably symbolic names were an unfortunate design decision anyway.
