Add DevContainer Configuration for Improved Development Experience

This PR adds DevContainer support to simplify the development environment setup. The implementation:

  • Creates a Dockerfile that:

    • Uses Ubuntu as the base image
    • Installs Nix package manager in single-user mode
    • Configures Nix with flakes support
    • Sets up proper user permissions and workspace directory
  • Adds a devcontainer.json configuration that:

    • Specifies container settings
    • Adds Git support
    • Configures VS Code with Nix IDE extension
    • Mounts the local workspace
  • Includes a post-creation script that:

    • Verifies Nix installation
    • Provides helpful instructions for developers
    • Documents available development commands

This setup enables consistent development environments across different machines and simplifies onboarding for new contributors.
