Closes #480
Provides a module extension to configure a Nix provided NodeJS toolchain.
The extension configures one toolchain per supported platform. This follows the pattern used by the corresponding repository macro.
At this point the module extension is not yet configurable. I.e. it will always use the
nodejs
attribute path in the default@nixpkgs
repository. Making the toolchain configurable is left open for a follow-up PR.Note that users can still override this toolchain with their own custom toolchain by invoking the repository macro directly. Users can also override the
@nixpkgs
repo to change the NodeJS toolchain.
