Closes: gh-297715

This PR adds PineFlash, a graphical utility for easily flashing IronOS to Pinecil soldering irons.

Note: This is my first package submission to nixpkgs, so I would greatly appreciate anyone reviewing or testing this pointing out anything obvious I missed, or any other advice/suggestions :)

I have become aware of a duplicate PR for an older version at gh-243312.

Since the previous PR seems stalled with unresolved issues, I intend to move forward with this one.

Todo before this is ready for review:

• Merge in desktop item from pineflash: init at 0.5.4 #243312
  • Seems like upstream has a .desktop file, need to check why that’s not being installed
• Merge in Darwin-specific fixes from pineflash: init at 0.5.4 #243312
  • The substitutes should be included, but I am not familiar enough with Darwin and can’t personally test on Darwin to know which of the buildInputs are necessary; for now, I’ve left them out.
• Re-test
• Find out if @Janik-Haag still wishes to be listed as a maintainer for PineFlash
  • I was unaware as a new contributor, but it seems they have left Nix as a whole due to drama.
  • I have kept them as ‘Co-authored-by’, since I have integrated nontrivial parts of their PR into this one and I feel that is the most correct git history.

Corrected unnecessary string conversion ("${version}" → version), re-tested.
