Prototype of Nix integration and solc picking

This pretty much works fine!

I can run dapp in a clean Ubuntu Docker, and it will commence installing
Nix, setting up the DappHub Nix channel, and then reinstalling dapp
via Nix.

It's kind of weird though that you would first download the dapp source
code and install it, and then it would immediately reinstall itself in a
different place using Nix.

So I'm not sure, maybe there should be a separate easy install script,
instead of the check in the main dapp program.
