Using nix infrastructure to reliably generate `compile_commands.json`

Just a quick update on this. It is now finished! A simpler PR with the required hook has been merged into master, so now mini compile commands doesn’t require a full nixpkgs rebuild. I have been using it for the past week and am very happy with it. Makes standing up IDE support for projects with exotic build systems really easy. Overall, i would say the user experience is not as nice as bear, but IMO it is significantly more reliable.
