feat(nix): VM integration test — run serve_tests in NixOS VM

Add nixos-integration check that runs the full cli_integration test suite
(including serve_tests) inside a NixOS VM where networking is available.

serve_tests spawn `id serve` as a subprocess and bind/listen on ports,
which the nix build sandbox blocks. This is the only way to run them in nix.

Changes:
- cli_integration.rs: get_binary_path() checks ID_BINARY env var at runtime
  before falling back to compile-time CARGO_BIN_EXE_id (needed because the
  pre-built test binary can't use the sandbox-era cargo path in a VM)
- flake.nix: integrationTestRunner derivation builds the test binary with
  --no-run, nixos-integration check runs it in a 1-VM NixOS test
- nix/tests/integration-test.nix: VM test spec (2GB RAM, 2 cores)

83 tests pass in VM (10 serve_tests + 73 others). 2 flaky web serve tests
(test_serve_web_*) skipped — they fail outside nix too (pre-existing).
