Add Nix package to new Zig compiler

[Hasnep]

This adds a Nix package for the new Zig based compiler to the Nix flake in src/, it can be tested by running

nix run github:hasnep/roc/add-nix-packages-for-new-compiler?dir=src

This will build the compiler package using Nix and run it.

Looks like this is ziglang/zig#20976

nix build ./src/#roc is taking 12 minutes on macOS 15, while zig build -Dfuzz -Dsystem-afl=false -Doptimize=ReleaseFast only takes 5 minutes outside of nix.

[Hasnep]

I believe the slow build was because Nix was spending a long time copying files it didn't need to, I've added the Nix gitignore input to easily use the .gitignore files to reduce the files copied, and the build is taking 5 minutes for me now.

[Anton-4]

@Hasnep can you check if we can add a workaround for ziglang/zig#20976 ?

[Hasnep]

I was looking at that earlier today, I'll push my experiment in the next few days :)

[Hasnep]

After some fiddling I've nearly got the build working, I'm getting these errors after about 10 minutes of building (I'll deal with the slowness once it's working 😅)

Unfortunately, my Nix knowledge is middling and my Zig knowledge is non-existent, so I'll need help with this last bit.

[Anton-4]

Thanks for the progress @Hasnep, I will take a look when I can.
