[WIP] a hacky implementation of services

[mlvzk]

This is a hacky implementation of services. User can define a service in their devshell.toml that will be started automatically when they enter the devshell. User can check logs for a service with serviceViewer service-name.

This doesn't yet cover a case where one service might depend on another, say a backend service that depends on postgres and redis.

Not intended to be merged yet, or maybe ever, it was just a fun little proof of concept.

interesting idea :)

Any progress on this? It's a great idea.

There also was a nixcon talk at some point where they used docker-compose as a job runner for this.
