- Created an automatic development environment via a nix flake - Supports both `nix develop` and `direnv allow` - Added `rust-toolchain.toml` to specify what version of the rust language to use

As @cachebag pointed out, I was defining the method call with a custom toolchain attribute set but didn't use it when calling the `buildPackage` function. Removed the `naersk-lib` definition, and renamed `naersk'` to `naersk-package` for a clearer name and used it to build the package later. Whether or not this actually builds the package as needed requires more understanding on my part, but it should build a binary just fine for all targets that `nix` can run on.

nix developanddirenv allowrust-toolchain.tomlto specify what version of the rust language to useIt lets anyone using the nix package manager and the experimental flakes feature to create the same development environment every single time, which allows for easier contribution.
Basically sets up everything a developer needs to work on the project without having to run a bunch of commands that aren't easily reproduced.
TODO: Look deeper into how the code is packaged to automatically create a package based off of existing build tools :)
