Emma Thorpe 2836ea1150 feat(nixos): nix-ld + nix-community cache + font coverage (base layer)
In common-nixos.nix (every NixOS host):
- programs.nix-ld for all hosts, not just WSL — foreign dynamic binaries
  (VS Code server, prebuilt toolchains) run on the dev boxes too. Removed
  the now-redundant per-host enable from the EDaaS config.
- nix-community.cachix.org substituter (merges with the Asahi cache).
- Noto sans + colour-emoji fonts and fontconfig defaultFonts mapping, so
  the WSL box (and anything asking fontconfig for "monospace") stops
  rendering tofu.
