Subject: feat(users/Profpatsch): set up stow for nix-home

nix-home is (hopefully) gonna be a home-manager alternative for my
home directory.

Files are symlinked into the home directory via GNU stow (since that
is a tried and tested tool), so first step is to set up the base code
for that.

Implements a small tool that reads a single environment variable and
prints it to stdout.
