Let's get this moving |
Add a Nix flake providing the dev shell with: - devkitNix overlay for the PPC toolchain (stdenvPPC) - xdelta, patchelf, file as build inputs - ShellHook that links tools into PATH, exports variables, and patches bundled binaries for NixOS compatibility - .envrc for automatic shell entry via direnv - .gitignore entries for .direnv/, .nix-bin/, bin/*.orig - DEVELOPMENT.md instructions for NixOS users

Feat: Add a Nix flake for reproducible development environments
Why this PR?
Setting up the local development environment currently requires manually installing several dependencies (DevKitPro, xdelta3, and the GameCube/Wii toolchain). On NixOS these aren't easily available at all.
This PR adds a Nix flake that provides a fully reproducible dev shell with all required dependencies pre-configured for users using the Nix package manager.
