John Ericson c67966418f Create JSON Schema for Store Paths
We immediately use this in the JSON schemas for Derivation and Deriving
Path, but we cannot yet use it in Store Object Info because those paths
*do* include the store dir currently.

title: Store Path
description: |
A [store path](@docroot@/store/store-path.md) identifying a store object.
This schema describes the JSON representation of store paths as used in various Nix JSON APIs.
> **Warning**

> This JSON format is currently

> and subject to change.
## Format
Store paths in JSON are represented as strings containing just the hash and name portion, without the store directory prefix.
For example: `"g1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3q-foo.drv"`
(If the store dir is `/nix/store`, then this corresponds to the path `/nix/store/g1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3qg1w7hy3q-foo.drv`.)
## Structure
The format follows this pattern: `${digest}-${name}`
- **hash**: Digest rendered in a custom variant of [Base32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32) (20 arbitrary bytes become 32 ASCII characters)
- **name**: The package name and optional version/suffix information
type: string
pattern: "^[0123456789abcdfghijklmnpqrsvwxyz]{32}-.+$"
