fix(3p): use nixpkgs nix_2_3 expr and tarball job for our Nix fork r/5281
By re-using the nix_2_3 expression from nixpkgs we are no longer stuck
with the 2021 expression from Nix's release.nix and the resulting
derivation has a shape that other expressions in nixpkgs expect (e.g.
nix-serve), so we can actually overlay our fork into the nix_2_3
attribute. This should reduce duplication on e.g. whitby.

Since there is no nixUnstable expression in nixpkgs anymore, it expects
a Nix release tarball which we produle using the appropriate release.nix
job from the repository. Sadly there is some trickery involved in
getting it to respect localSystem, since the tarball job is not based on
the passed in systems list.
