13b44742a4 JSON for Hash now has to be Base16
Fix #14532.

As discussed on the call today:

1. We'll stick with `format = "base16"` and `hash = "<hash>"`, not do
   `base16 = "<hash>"`, in order to be forward compatible with
   supporting more versioning formats.

   The motivation we discussed for someday *possibly* doing this is
   making it easier to write very slap-dash lang2nix tools that create
   (not consume) derivations with dynamic derivations.

2. We will remove support for non-base16 (and make that the default, not
   base64) in `Hash`, so this is strictly forward contingency, *not*
   yet something we support. (And also not something we have concrete
   plans to start supporting.)

caa196e31d Make the store path info ca field structured in JSON
The old string format is a holdover from the pre JSON days. It is not
friendly to users who need to get the information out of it.

Also introduce the sort of versioning we have for derivation for this
format too.

d21e3f88ec Implement support for Git hashing with SHA-256
SHA-256 is Git's next hash algorithm. The world is still basically stuck
on SHA-1 with git, but shouldn't be. We can at least do our part to get
ready.

On the C++ implementation side, only a little bit of generalization was
needed, and that was fairly straight-forward. The tests (unit and
system) were actually bigger, and care was taken to make sure they were
all cover both algorithms equally.
