Add Nix flake for development environment (#23406)

Provides a Nix flake as an alternative to `scripts/bootstrap.sh` for setting up the Bun development environment. ## What's included: - **flake.nix**: Full development environment with all dependencies from bootstrap.sh - LLVM 19, CMake 3.30+, Node.js 24, Rust, Go - Build tools: ninja, ccache, pkg-config, make - Chromium dependencies for Puppeteer testing - gdb for core dump debugging - **shell.nix**: Simple wrapper for `nix-shell` usage - **cmake/CompilerFlags.cmake**: Nix compatibility fixes - Disable zstd debug compression (Nix's LLVM not built with zstd) - Set _FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 for -O0 debug builds - Downgrade _FORTIFY_SOURCE warning to not error ## Usage: ```bash nix-shell export CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR=$(uname -m) bun bd ``` ## Verified working: ✅ Successfully compiles Bun debug build ✅ Binary tested: `./build/debug/bun-debug --version` → 1.2.24-debug ✅ All dependencies from bootstrap.sh included ## Advantages: - Fully isolated (no sudo required) - 100% reproducible dependency versions - Fast setup with binary caching --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Bot <claude-bot@bun.sh> Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

-## Install Dependencies
+## Using Nix (Alternative)
+
+A Nix flake is provided as an alternative to manual dependency installation:
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+# or explicitly use the pure shell
+# nix develop .#pure
+export CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR=$(uname -m)
+bun bd
+```
+
+This provides all dependencies in an isolated, reproducible environment without requiring sudo.
+
+## Install Dependencies (Manual)

 Using your system's package manager, install Bun's dependencies:
