iio-sensor-proxy: init at 2.2 and nixos module

This PR adds support for ```iio-sensor-proxy``` used by GNOME v3 and
others for reading data from the accelerometer, gps, compass and similar sensors
built into some relatively recent laptops.

Additionally, there is a NixOS module exposed via hardware.sensor.iio
for enabling services, udev rules and dbus services.
