packaging(nix): add a Nix flake for reproducible from-source builds

Browse Source 
Add a flake that builds all four binaries (fips, fipsctl, fips-gateway,
fipstop) on Linux and macOS, pinning the exact toolchain from
rust-toolchain.toml (1.94.1 + rustfmt/clippy) via fenix so Nix builds
match CI and the AUR/Debian packaging.

Wire up the build-time native deps the source tree needs: pkg-config and
bindgenHook (libclang) for the rustables/libdbus-sys bindgen step, and
dbus for bluer's BLE support. autoPatchelfHook rewrites the binary RPATHs
so the daemon resolves libdbus-1.so.3 and libgcc_s.so.1 from the Nix store
at runtime — without it `fips` fails to load on NixOS, which has no global
/usr/lib.

Outputs: packages.{default,fips}, apps for each binary, checks.fips, and a
devShell with the pinned toolchain plus cargo-edit. Tests are skipped in
the package build since they exercise TUN devices, raw sockets, and mDNS
that aren't available in the sandbox, mirroring the AUR/Debian packaging.

Verified end-to-end in a pure Nix store (nixos/nix container): nix build,
nix flake check, and running all four binaries succeed against the
committed flake.lock.

Documented across the install and developer docs: a Nix / NixOS section in
packaging/README.md, the from-source guide in docs/getting-started.md
(noting the flake produces binaries only, with NixOS system integration
through the system configuration rather than the installer), the CHANGELOG,
README, CONTRIBUTING, and the v0.4.0 release notes.

Alternatively, the repo ships a [Nix flake](flake.nix): `nix develop`
drops you into a shell with the pinned toolchain and every build
prerequisite (libclang, dbus, pkg-config) already provided, and
`nix build .#fips` builds all four binaries with no host setup. See the
Nix / NixOS section of [packaging/README.md](packaging/README.md).
