ruffle-bin: init at 2025-01-13 (#285887)

[normalcea]

Depends on #371012 and is a proof of concept draft for adding a binary ruffle package to nixpkgs. This fixes issue #285887 as it doesn't build deterministically as well as adding support for ruffle's about page[1, prebuilt is left, native comp is right]. It also allows for automatic updating with nix-update-script --version=unstable without burdening CI.

A pre-built binary package also allows for easily pinning a version of ruffle without the burden of having to compile ruffle from source on the user's end which is very time/resource consuming as it is a complex Rust project.

I do not have access to a Darwin machine so I left the derivation for darwin as a stub. @jchv if you can fill that in that would be great. Anyone with a Linux machine can also help test (for example, on a X11 display server vs. wayland).
