Subject: feat(tazjin/nixos): setup niri (scrolling window manager)

This commit is experimental for now.

The backstory is this: There are use-cases where tiling windows (as in EXWM,
which I normally use) annoy me. There are also use-cases where stacking
windows (as in e.g. XFCE, which I tried for a bit) are annoying.

Scrolling WMs are a new thing which is sort of similar to tiling, but as it adds
more screen real estate doesn't require shuffling around or resizing of existing
windows basically ever.

I'm going to trial this (assuming I can get everything that's relevant for me
set up) and see how it goes.
