To build Guichet in a controlled environment and to unify our release logic, I added some logic to package Guichet with Nix.
The packaging is based on gomod2nix and requires a gomod2nix.toml file.

I have also embedded some files provided by gomod2nix in the nix/builder folder.
It might be possible to rewrite our default.nix to not import them and use the ones from the gomod2nix repo.

I have parameterized the code everywhere we call static/ and templates/ as seeking these folders only on the current working directory was making packaging and releasing harder than necessary.
Now, you can set multiple paths in the JSON file and additionnaly the working directory and the executable path are automatically checked.
This change is retro-compatible and, in practise, the 2 default paths should cover most if not all the cases.

As a side note, the generated docker image is not bigger than the previous one (prev: ~6MB, this one: ~4.5MB).

In the long run, the idea is to use this work to automatically release guichet binaries like garage ones, both statically and on the Docker Hub.
