Motivation

This adds a new command nix registry resolve for doing registry lookups, e.g.

# nix registry resolve nixpkgs
github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable

Previously we didn't really have a way to resolve registry indirections from the CLI without fetching the flake.

Context

Taken from DeterminateSystems#273.
