Provide something like nixos `nix.package` option #128

Currently if one wants to use an unstable version of nix they have to manually nix-shell into it after each start. Just adding it to environment.packages doesn't seem to properly persist.

With environment.packages = [ pkgs.nixUnstable ] nix --version still reports 2.3.x. even after restarting the terminal.

I have to explicitly do nix-shell -p nixUnstable first.

nixOS Module system has nix.package for this.
