Subject: [PATCH] feat: use nix-output-monitor for builds
Change-Id: tqrsnzyqotlzuxyzmyyvztvzroyxkxso

It'd be nice to use nix output monitor for builds - there's a project
which automatically uses nix output monitor when nix is called (even
supporting nix-direnv/nixos-rebuild)... this looks probably good for us
to use.

There is [one issue](https://github.com/ners/nix-monitored/issues/3)
of some importance on the nix-monitored tracker which suggests that
nix-monitored incorrectly transforms some 'nix run' invocations...
fortunately, we don't use flakes so this shouldn't be a huge issue

If it is, using

    NIX_MONITOR=disable

will temporarily disable nix monitor, allowing you to run whatever you
needed without issue while using nom for everything else
