This PR should fix #87 by ensuring that what database the nix-index-database is pointing up is the nixpkgs version we will end up using in the default.nix files. For now this only changes the non-Flake version. The Flake ones will come in another PR.
Since there is so many changes in nix-alien right now, this commit will bump the UUID used as a base for hashing the names, so we can ensure everyone will use the new changes.

This PR will pin
nixpkgsin the generateddefault.nixfiles by extracting the repository information from nix-index-database's Flake metadata.This should ensure that whatever package we find using
nix-indexwill match the output files and make it just work(TM), avoiding issues where the user has a different<nixpkgs>set in their channels and the shell failing with errors because it can't find the specified package.There are also some fixes, especially in the Flake/nix-ld codepaths (I think this mean they're not being used, since nobody reported issues and this was broken for a long time).
Fix #87.
