Adds a new optional input 'nix-package-url' that allows users to specify
a URL to a Nix package tarball for installing a specific Nix version.
The URL is passed to the experimental installer via the
NIX_INSTALLER_NIX_PACKAGE_URL environment variable.

Tests the new nix-package-url input across multiple Nix versions
(2.18.0, 2.19.2, 2.24.7, 2.30.2) and operating systems (Ubuntu, macOS).
Each test verifies the correct Nix version is installed and runs
basic devbox commands.

The experimental Nix installer requires --nix-package-url to be passed
as a command-line flag to the install command, not just as an environment
variable. Updated the action to build the install command conditionally
with the --nix-package-url flag when the input is provided.
