Phase 1: Implement dual flake support with ecosystem bridge

- Added flake.nix using wrapper pattern for modern flake access
- Implemented core outputs: packages, devShells, checks, lib, apps
- Generated flake.lock for reproducible builds
- Updated documentation with dual workflow examples
- Preserved traditional nix-build workflow compatibility
- Maintained philosophical stance as flake alternative/complement
- Enabled hybrid workflows and ecosystem integration

Provides modern flake access while maintaining nixtamal's core values.
