ci: create jenkins pipeline and enable build of nim compiler

[markoburcul]

Because of the recent bump of Nim compiler for codex to >2 version, using the system Nim provided by nixpkgs became unusable since the nim-codex couldn't build. Because of this I've adapted the derivation to be similar to the one of nimbus-eth2 where we build Nim compiler using nimbus-build-system.

The pipeline on Jenkins is currently set to build nim-codex through flake, but there is a possibility to run the nix tests in the pipeline with slight modifications of the ci agents(the error when running nix tests).

error: a 'x86_64-linux' with features {kvm, nixos-test} is required to build '/nix/store/9avanzkwb8f25c0az0f3f8jv2mkm4gfq-vm-test-run-nim-codex-test.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {benchmark, big-parallel, nixos-test, uid-range}

P.S. Unfortunately it is not possible anymore(to my knowledge) to instantiate the nix shell without specifying additionally '.?submodules=1#'. Cause of this is that the callPackage from preBuild phase is being called and all three calls require submodules to be present.

I've inspected the dependencies of the built derivation both manually with nix derivation show and with nix-tree. There was no hidden Nim compiler or anything similar among the dependecies that would explain the previous failures we had when debugging the build.

When building the package we can see in the output first:

codex> Nim Compiler Version 1.9.1 [Linux: amd64]
codex> Compiled at 2023-01-02
codex> Copyright (c) 2006-2022 by Andreas Rumpf
codex> git hash: 7f6681b4c4ccc0dc43fd256280be4c3ad3c773e5

but afterwards we can see:

codex> Building: build/all
codex> [using Nim version v2.0.14]

which states clearly that we are using the 2.0.14 Nim compiler.

The removal of nimble and nim-unwrapped has resolved the issue for me. This branch builds fine:

~/work/nim-codex create-jenkins-pipeline
 > nix build '.?submodules=1#default'

~/work/nim-codex create-jenkins-pipeline 9m 25s
 > ./result/bin/codex --version
Codex version:  0.1.0-6f76abbe
Codex revision: 0.1.0-6f76abbe
Nim Compiler Version 2.0.14 [Linux: amd64]

Looks mostly correct. Nice work.
