Move the previous `default.nix` to `main.nix` so that `default.nix` can be used for defining the set of all test derivations. `main.nix` is imported by `default.nix`, but is only responsible for the tests built from `tests/test-sources/`.
Allows using the `callPackage(s)` pattern on tests. Rather than using `pkgs.callPackage`, we implement our own variant using `lib.callPackageWith`. Our variant (`callTest`) includes additional nixvim-specific stuff commonly used by our tests.
e.g. Prefer taking `pkgs.*` attrs directly as function arguments.

Is there a better name than main.nix?
main.nixcould be confusing, asdefault.nixis the "main" entrypoint to a directorymodules.nixcould make sense (the file is responsible for making tests from the modules intest-sources), but we already have amodules.nixthat tests the wrapper modules...generated.nixcould make sense too, but we already have agenerated.nixtest that tests the ci-generated files are valid
Maybe modules.nix is the way to go, if we renamed the current modules.nix to wrappers.nix? But this is making the diff much larger than it really should be for a minor refactoring PR...

I agree modules.nix would be better. We can do it in another PR though.

tests/default.nixcallTestpatterncallTestpatternThis takes ideas from #2104 (reducing the scope of that PR) and is required for #2430, as otherwise the auto-formatting leads to an unnecessarily large diff.
This PR contains two key ideas in its refactoring:
