Add `zle` widget to accept a line with `comma` in install mode #4

comma supports an option, -i, which essentially installs the missing command permanently to the local Nix profile. One cool addition for this plugin would be a zle widget (so a keybinding or Vim-mode command) which would accept a line like a normal shell, but all instances of missing commands would use comma's install mode, thus installing all required commands more permanently.

As it turns out, comma's install mode doesn't run the command after installing it. Would need to make a workaround using nix-index directly (and essentially circumvent comma as a whole, since that's essentially what the command boils down to)

Another option would be to complete #5 and feed the output path to nix-env.
