Make nix path-info --json return an object not array

Before it returned a list of JSON objects with store object information,
including the path in each object. Now, it maps the paths to JSON
objects with the metadata sans path.

This matches how `nix derivation show` works.

Quite hillariously, none of our existing functional tests caught this
change to `path-info --json` though they did use it. So just new
functional tests need to be added.

- The flake-specific flags `--recreate-lock-file` and `--update-input` have been removed from all commands operating on installables.
They are superceded by `nix flake update`.
- Commit signature verification for the [`builtins.fetchGit`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-fetchGit) is added as the new [`verified-fetches` experimental feature](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-verified-fetches).
- [`nix path-info --json`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-path-info.md)
(experimental) now returns a JSON map rather than JSON list.
The `path` field of each object has instead become the key in th outer map, since it is unique.
The `valid` field also goes away because we just use null instead.
- Old way:
```json5
[
{
"path": "/nix/store/8fv91097mbh5049i9rglc73dx6kjg3qk-bash-5.2-p15",
"valid": true,
// ...
},
{
"path": "/nix/store/wffw7l0alvs3iw94cbgi1gmmbmw99sqb-home-manager-path",
"valid": false
}
]
```
- New way
```json5
{
"/nix/store/8fv91097mbh5049i9rglc73dx6kjg3qk-bash-5.2-p15": {
// ...
},
"/nix/store/wffw7l0alvs3iw94cbgi1gmmbmw99sqb-home-manager-path": null,
}
```
This makes it match `nix derivation show`, which also maps store paths to information.
