feat(nixos/sourcegraph): Add a module for running SourceGraph r/995
This module spins up the Sourcegraph container.

Builds:

Note that this is contrary to how our other deployments work, but
packaging Sourcegraph is quite difficult (it's a Gitlab style
deployment with a lot of moving parts and third-party things that it
bundles).

If we decide to keep it around, we will want to look at packaging it
in Nix in the future.

Deployment:

The deployment is a hack. Sourcegraph does not support public
instances, but we want it to be public. To work around this we have
configured HTTP-proxy based authentication (i.e. auth via a header)
and hardcoded a static header.

This works, but lets anonymous users change the "Anonymous" user's
settings. We can expect this to get defaced (profile picture, name
etc), until we figure out how to write some nginx configuration to
drop those requests. See git-bug for details.

The Sourcegraph configuration is also not checked in to the
repository. It's unclear where in the data directory it is stored.
