Reduce Nix support (#3804)

This removes the support for:
- Dev shells with pre-built packages
- Building binaries

These have been almost continually broken, and nobody is really
maintaining them. Better to just do the simple thing we can do reliably,
which is to provide dev shells.

Closes #3800

 If you are using nix 2.4 style command (enabled by `experimental-features = nix-command`),
 you can use `nix develop` instead of `nix-shell` to enter the development shell. To enter the shell with specific GHC versions:
 
-* `nix develop` or `nix develop .#haskell-language-server-dev` - default GHC version
-* `nix develop .#haskell-language-server-901-dev` - GHC 9.0.1 (substitute GHC version as appropriate)
