nix: use devenv to create a shell environment
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Devenv[^1] is tool to create easily composable development
environments for nix.

Hooking it in to our nix flake gives us the following improvements:
 - more declarative python environment config
 - avoid the `patchElf` hack to pull in native dependencies
 - python packages updates won't undo the effect of `patchElf`
 - due to a long-standing bug[^2], a patched `devenv` version is needed
