use niv for dependency management.

this follows our own tutorials on writing packages and development
shells, and we generally find it is easier to read and work with.

Looking good to me, just needs a rebase as far as I can see, or is there anything else needed?

I ran into morally unneeded rebuilds that led me to open nmattia/niv#379. That kind of made me back off from the idea for a while. I'll give it another thought when my mind is fresh, rebasing it should be quick.

@fricklerhandwerk As an alternative, https://github.com/andir/npins do exist too.

I'd not worry about that, it's an orthogonal concern, let's not get stuck in too many rabbit holes. I'd be willing to merge this if rebased.

this removes a difference to how Nix currently fetches flake references.

using a constant is preferrable because renaming the source won't force
downstream rebuilds of store objects cached from when flakes were used.

upstream fix: nmattia/niv#379

It just occurred to me that we'd totally be breaking the automatic nixos.org updates again, since it depends on nix.dev being a flake. I think that's okay though, nix.dev doesn't need to be a stable API surface.
