Complete the data model with a runtime environment and end-to-end test (#481)

Closes #103

At last, a fully fledged data model for what Fediversity really is and does. This comes with a test that exercises a very simple but functionally complete arrangement with all ingredients fo the business logic: a dummy resource (login shell), a dummy application (`hello`, which needs a shell to live in), a dummy environment (a single NixOS VM that allows for one, the operator's, login shell), and a deployment of that environment given a dummy configuration (that enables `hello`).

The next step will be to lift this purely evaluation-level test into a VM test which verifies that the resulting VM indeed has `hello` deployed to the operator's user account.

Caveats:
- The exact naming has a bit of room for improvement, and may have diverged from the design document
- The test is not as pedantically type safe as it could be, since we simply use `types.raw` for resources such as NixOS users settings which *could* be more finely delineated
