nixVersions.nix_2_{10..17}: remove

Those are not maintained anymore by upstream Nix[1]. In fact, Nix
intends to only maintain

> * The latest release
> * The version used in the stable NixOS release, which is announced in the NixOS release notes.

Given that security issues and regressions happen, for instance latest
2.17 unconditionally rejects leading dots in store-paths, a regression
fixed in other Nix versions[2].

I didn't touch

* 2.3 since there's still a rather large user-base and it has a special
  role as the last pre-flakes release.

* 2.19 - 2.22: I'm not really sure what the next stable nix for nixpkgs
  will be and at least 2.19 seems to work relatively well for me.
  Anyways, touching those seems way more controversial than touching
  2.10-2.17, so I'll skip that for now.
