new repo request: nixd, the nix language server based on official nix library

[inclyc]

I wanted to share a project I've been working on recently. It's a nix language server that's based on NixOS/nix directly (i.e. is linked with), and it's designed to improve consistency between nix commands and the editor experience. While it's still a work in progress, I've already implemented a few key features such as hover, workspace/configuration, completion, and basic diagnostics. I was thinking of putting this project in the nix-community incubator to get more visibility. Would you be interested in trying it out and providing feedback? Thanks!

Some notable features provided by linking with the Nix library include:

• Diagnostics and evaluation that produce identical results as the real Nix command.
• Shared eval caches (flake, file) with your system's Nix.
• Native support for cross-file analysis.
• Precise Nix language support. We do not maintain "yet another parser & evaluator".
• Support for built-ins, including Nix plugins.

I have invited @inclyc to the nix-community org and explained that the repo needs to be transferred.
