Pre-built binary

[fuzzko]

• Building Equinox from source is a problem for users. Dependencies might be outdated or does not exist in their distro. Providing a pre-built binary would solve this issue.
• Using Nix bundler and nix-portable, you can create a bundled static executable that works on *any platform.
• This depends on Nix flake #16 to bundle though (cus duhh, it uses Nix and requires a derivation/package to build).

Packaging is a goal but we're barely into the alpha.

We can leave this here until Equinox is onto alpha/beta stage.

No, I think we need packages now.

We already have a script to build an Equinox AppImage that we can distribute, but it's very janky. (The equinox CLI tool segfaults, but weirdly enough, the equinox_gui GTK4 shell works fine)

Can we replace that with a Nix derivation?
Something that works similar with this post.

I don't think AppImages will work out considering our current one just segfaults with no real way to find out why.
