eta 0d772f7012 Switch from Nix to new Dockerfile that builds static executables
Instead of using Nix to build whatsxmpp, we switch back to using Docker in order
to make use of daewok's SBCL static executables fork
   (ref: https://www.timmons.dev/posts/static-executables-with-sbcl-v2.html).

The Dockerfile, adapted from the sources of his fork, pulls his fork, builds
SBCL with sb-prelink-linkage-table, and then does the necessary stuff to make
a fully static whatsxmpp binary.

Importantly, the new binary uses SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY to set 'safety
to 3 in all packages, to hopefully mitigate the heap corruption issues some
users are seeing. (The fact that Nix couldn't do this was a key reason for the
move away.)

We remove the old Nix files to avoid cruft / confusion.
