📄 Description

This PR adds nix-shell that will allow to build shadPS4 on nixos natively. While we can use distrobox, native approach is much better since it allows us to run it on nix-machines without the need to install docker and it allows to reproduce builds without worrying about different versions of dependencies.

Tested on x86_64
