integrate into the nixpkgs jupyter/default.nix derivation

My current idea is to move forward as fast as possible with this repo, even if it is a bit dirty. I want to move all the custom packages that are required for the kernels into nix overlay and then merge as much into nixpkgs as possible. Another possibility would be to start merging stuff piece by piece in parallel now into nixpkgs.

I think there are a few questions to answer before we integrate the jupyterlab derivation itself into nixpkgs. In particular, we might be able to optimize caching a bit and we need to add a passthrough mechanism for labextension as @costrouc demonstrated.

The best outcome would be if this repo contains only examples in the end ;)

Not sure if this includes the NixOS jupyter service/module as well, but that would be amazing.
Currently trying to add a module like such to my config and not getting very far 🙃
