nose2pytest: init at 1.0.12

Description of changes

They said nobody could get a new package using nose into Nixpkgs… they were wrong!!!

Obviously there is an element of farce here, but I just used this to accomplish yandex/gixy#146 and I suspect it may come in handy for others working on #326513 or who just have their own nose test suites they’d like to migrate. The upstream package declares that it doesn’t work on Python 3.12, I guess because the nose‐using tests won’t natively run on that version, but it seems to work fine for me.

Of course, I’ll remove the nose nativeCheckInput and just disable the tests when the time comes. (Or now, if other people don’t find it as amusing as I do.)

I don't know how many active upstreams actually use nose in 2024, but it's fine for me to package it as long as the other packages in nixpkgs don't depend on it.
