Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 486a98af3e Add new dev-nix role for secure offline Nix installation
This commit introduces the new 'dev-nix' Ansible role, which installs the
Nix package manager in a secure and reproducible way using a locally stored,
SHA256-verified installer script.

Key features:
- Local pinned installer (no network download during execution)
- SHA256 checksum validation to prevent execution of modified installers
- Multi-user (daemon) installation mode
- Optional shell integration via /etc/profile.d
- Fully idempotent, distro-agnostic design

This role matches the structure and conventions of existing dev-* roles
in the Infinito.Nexus ecosystem.
