ruffle: nightly-2025-01-04 -> nightly-2025-01-25

[normalcea]

In addition to a simple version bump, I have significantly refactored the derivation for ruffle to resolve inconsistencies and add features.

For summary:

• Patched fetchFromGitHub to use tag and factored out pname
• Replaced occurrences of stdenv with stdenvNoCC
• Refactored postInstall
  • Namespaced binaries with "ruffle_" as to avoid any potential naming conflicts.
  • Renamed ruffle_desktop to just ruffle.
• Furnished the package's meta fields to add more information.
• Moved attributes in logical order for readability.
• Wrapped openh264 to avoid downloading at runtime.
• Used a patch file to solve issue ruffle_desktop doesn't properly get current time due to "deterministic" build feature #285887.

I don't have a Darwin machine, so that still requires testing (I'm not aware if changing the binary name affects MacOS), if everything looks good then I'll squash and rebase if needed.
