fix(nix): fix utop tests (#8752)

Nix was compressing the man pages for utop which meant the dune-package file was pointing to non-existant files. Overriding utop and disabling the compression of man pages fixes this issue. We can also use this fix for other `(package)` dependencies that are problematic with nix. Signed-off-by: Ali Caglayan <[email protected]>
