repo: add shell.nix and .envrc (#5519)

* repo: add shell.nix and .envrc

Makes usage on NixOS easier, by not having to drop into a hurry of
`nix-shell -p lots of packages` every time someone wants to experiment
around with wgpu.

The .envrc causes shell.nix to be eval'd automatically run iff

1. direnv is installed
2. the user `direnv allow`ed the shell.nix

* repo(shell.nix): add explanations and remove cruft

+# This file is only relevant for Nix and NixOS users.

+# If you are
+#   on macOS (and not using nix-darwin)
+#   or on Windows (and not using Nix in WSL),

+# Otherwise, if you *do* use Nix the package manager,

+#   common dependencies
+#   and some nice tools
+# which you'll most likely need when working with wgpu.
+# Feel free to copy it into your own project if deemed useful.
+#
+# To use this file, just run `nix-shell` in this folder,
+# which will drop you into a shell
+# with all the deps needed for building wgpu available.
+#
+# Or if you're using direnv (https://direnv.net/),
+# use `direnv allow` to automatically always use this file
+# if you're navigating into this or a subfolder.
