Add shebang support for files using flakes.

This is slightly more complicated than nix-shell detection due to the #!nix ... not appearing directly after the shebang, so re-search-forward is used to find the matching line. This does mean that opening a huge file may slow down emacs while the search is running.

There are two mitigations for that:

  1. nix-shebang will try to parse the nix-shell line first.

  2. Users can keep nix-shell -i ... as the second line in your nix script. This won't affect the script at runtime (i.e. it will still use flakes) and keeps the old detection behavior.

  3. An option could be added to disable flake support entirely.
