Adds Nix flake for building on NixOS

[t56k]

Closes #54 (ignoring macOS for the time being--my Nix install in that env is borked). Might need some extra buildInputs for macOS/Darwin, happy to amend when I can.

Nice work! Please update the readme with install instructions as well :)

Just for my own learning, why is crane needed given that you can just give rustPlatform.buildRustPackage the local lockfile?

I'll leave this here just for a day or two to gather input, as I'm not adept with nix myself. A mention in the README would be nice!

Crane is a relatively-simplified way of making a temporary Rust environment on Nix platforms with platform-specific requirements, checks, and the like, so that gitu's builds are (more) reproducible. Helix's example shows a more comprehensive use-case. In my experience it just makes building easier, but if there's enough pushback I'm happy to change it. Also it's what I've used in the past and what has worked for my devops deployments.

gitu is already packaged in the official nixpkgs repo: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/ddbd484a31481757a93d1ce7122dcb8469ff5fb2/pkgs/by-name/gi/gitu/package.nix

this will provide a binary cache, and it works on both macOS and linux

this flake does provide a devShell, which would be useful for local development if maintainers want to lock their development dependencies

Oh, I swear I searched and couldn't find it, but when I look now it's right there. Cheers!

Feel free to tag me in on any nix-related stuff in the future if needed, particularly if it would otherwise go unmaintained

Amazing! I'll merge this. :+1:
