shell.nix: automatically configure b4
This will allow people who just want to test one patch series to skip an annoying setup process. To be honest, I'm not sure if it's worth keeping the documentation about manually setting it up. I'm worried it'll just confuse people. But I'm keeping it for now. We can remove it later. Signed-off-by: Alyssa Ross <hi@alyssa.is>
