nix: make Qt6 work on wayland

Taking many tips from our `default.nix` (thanks @nt!) this seems to be
the minimal overlay required for a flake to get up and running with
`piker chart` B)

Notes,
- for now, we're pinning to a major `cpython` version (3.13)
- ensure we (can) build with `nixpkgs.qt6.qtwayland`
- add the minimal Qt ld-lib-path linkings including those for plugin
  use (required for wayland mode).
- for now, hardcode "wayland" platform-mode and the linux standard
  "xdg-shell" integration.
- leave some TODOs to better parameterize around py versions.
