Subject: [PATCH] Add shell.nix with an environment for building and using Clad
 on NixOS

I use this nix environment to build Clad standalone and test the reproducers.

Until recently, I could just use my native Arch Linux environment to do
so, but after Arch dropped LLVM 17 this was not possible anymore (Clad
doesn't work the LLVM 18 yet). Therefore, I had to find another
solution, and nix packages works quite well.

It would be nice to have this in the repo so also other people can work
with Clad in NixOS, without having to waste time figuring out the
dependencies and necessary CMake flags.
