This isn't ideal for development, since it pulls Helix from GitHub instead of from the underlying filesystem, but it does get the package working for nix users. As an additional convenience, I also embedded the runtime by default.

Opening as a draft as I'm not sure if this is the direction we want to take here, but unless NixOS/nix#3978 get's a proper solution, this may be the best way to do it for now.

Potentially resolves #27

I think this looks good, it's not ideal but at least it builds :)

I suppose the only question left then, is if the url should point at master as I currently have it, or to the latest release tag?

I also added an overlay, so users can easily install into a NixOS configuration as well.

Sidenote: There's also a proposal to nixpkgs (NixOS/nixpkgs#126208) by @yusdacra, I wonder why the tests fail there
