improve the way sbomnix reads pacakge metadata

[Henri Rosten]

sbomnix reads the nix package meta info from the json file given via the command-line --meta option.

This needs to be re-done properly, ultimately aiming to get rid of the need for --meta command line argument completely.

How about:

diff --git a/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix b/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix
index 51c78c55d599..f4ad35af2c1a 100644

@domenkozar : thanks for providing input to this issue!

What you are proposing requires a change in nixpkgs, right?
