Add Nix+Nixpkgs to the Building section of the README #10

The Nixpkgs has been merged for a while. The Nix language is a pure ML dialect too!

Letting users know they can get & use it would be helpful. @ratsclub maybe you have an idea on to how best word it since there’s that tricky bit with the stdlib?

I've added make install target and the installed lunarml command works without passing -B (a wrapper script is installed in $PREFIX/bin). I hope this change makes packaging easier.

Two notes:

The destination path could be specified with PREFIX variable: make install PREFIX=$out
make install automatically runs make -C thirdparty install
