What changed

adds a pinned Nix flake for the Nim 0.9.0 spec
exports packages.<system>.starintel-doc-nim and default
installs the Nimble package source at a stable dependency path
exports devShells and overlays.default
supports x86_64-linux and aarch64-linux
adds Nix flake CI

Why

Downstream Nim derivations can now consume the spec source directly from a flake package and add its exported source path to Nim's module search path.

The repository does not currently contain the JSON dependency lock required by nixpkgs buildNimPackage, so this PR packages the dependency source rather than pretending to provide a reproducible compiled binary.

Validation

nimble dump, nix flake show --all-systems, and nix flake check --show-trace run through the package/CI path.
