I would like to use the dev env provided by nix to build foundry but it's quite outdated. This PR makes it up to date and automated some of the maintenance. Use solc from nixpkgs instead of custom flake. This will at least update solc when it's updated in nixpkgs versus remaining on the same version until someone manually edits flake.nix and makes a PR. Add a CI job to ensure the nix dev env can be used to build foundry. I would like to make it possible to run all the tests too but this would requires more work to track down reasons for the invididual test failures.

I think it would be good to set up a CI for it before making the flake more complex. That's also suggested in comments on #9260. |

Motivation
I would like to use the dev env provided by nix to build foundry but it's quite outdated. This PR makes it up to date and automates some of the maintenance.
Solution
Use solc from nixpkgs instead of custom flake. This will at least update solc when it's updated in nixpkgs versus remaining on the same solc version until someone manually edits flake.nix and makes a PR.
Add a CI job to ensure the nix dev env can be used to build foundry. I would like to make it possible to run all the tests too but this would requires more work to track down reasons for the individual test failures.
