Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to use them. Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off merging this now as is. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>

Description
This command reads from standard input a JSON representation of a store derivation to which an installable evaluates.
Store derivations are used internally by Nix. They are store paths with
extension .drv that represent the build-time dependency graph to which
a Nix expression evaluates.
nix derivation add takes a single derivation in the following format:
{{#include ../../json/derivation.md}}
