docs(snix): move some more docs

Browse source 
Absorb some of the paragraphs from snix/docs/src/architecture.md, as

bit more context.

The parts about the Evaluator are largely outdated (see the warning
above in that file), and otherwise already covered.

Update and restructure protocol.md to describe the goals of the builder.

The builder consumes build requests from a client, runs builds and sends
logs/telemetry to the client.
By making the build protocol a standardized interface, it's possible to make the
sandboxing mechanism used by the build process pluggable.
There currently exists an OCI builder, as well as gRPC server adapter and client
implementations, allowing to run the builder both locally or remotely.
