feat(flake): make nix run github:mincomk/bootit work - #13

Conversation
The committed flake never evaluated: it pointed at ./rust-toolchain.toml,
which the repo does not have, and used `lib` / `stdenv` without binding
them. It was a crane template left half-filled.
Replace crane, rust-overlay and flake-utils with a single nixpkgs input
and a plain rustPlatform.buildRustPackage, so the flake evaluates from a
cold checkout and both bins (`bootit` and `it`) land in $out/bin:
nix run github:mincomk/bootit -- scan
nix profile install github:mincomk/bootit
Also add a CI job that evaluates, builds and runs the flake, and document
the Nix install path in the README.

nix run github:mincomk/bootitdid not work because the committed flake never evaluated:rust-bin.fromRustupToolchainFile ./rust-toolchain.toml— the repo has norust-toolchain.toml.lib.optionals/stdenv.isDarwinused withoutlib/stdenvin scope.It was a crane template that was never filled in (description still said "A very cool CLI tool").
What this does

flakejob is the check for this PR (the machine this was written on cannot run a full nixpkgs evaluation).
