Issue:
Bug: Migrate from cargo2nix to rust-flake



Migrate the Nix build/shell system from cargo2nix to rust-flake.

**Parent Issue:** #57  
**Related PR:** #8503

## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] Migrate from cargo2nix to rust-flake
- [x] Verify nix CI/CD compatibility


Pull request description:
# Migrate Nix Configuration to rust-flake

This PR refactors the existing Nix setup by migrating from `cargo2nix` to `rust-flake`.
Resolves: #8538 

## TODO:

- [x] **Initial port** - Port current `flake.nix` functionality using rust-flake
  - [x] @kashif-m The current [`flake.nix`](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch/blob/d305fad2e6c403fde11b9eea785fddefbf3477df/flake.nix#L63-L78) has `default`, `dev`, and `qa` shells. Are all three required? Typically we use `default` for development and additional shells for specific purposes. Currently the PR has `default` as development shell and `qa` for QA work.
  https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch/blob/d305fad2e6c403fde11b9eea785fddefbf3477df/flake.nix#L63-L78

- [x] **Configuration review** - @kashif-m This ports the existing flake.nix structure, but we should discuss additional features needed and fix any broken functionality
  - [x] The [`flake.nix`](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch/blob/d305fad2e6c403fde11b9eea785fddefbf3477df/flake.nix#L23-L24) defines two rust versions: `rustDevVersion` and `rustMsrv`. The `rustMsrv` is [defined but unused](https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch/blob/d305fad2e6c403fde11b9eea785fddefbf3477df/flake.nix#L37-L39). Is `rustDevVersion` supposed to be different from the version in `Cargo.toml`?

  - [ ] ~~Nixify Docker images using [`nix2container`](https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container)~~ (To be addressed in different PR)
  - [ ] ~~Additional nix integration items (to be discussed)~~ (To be addressed in different PR)

- [x] **Testing** - Ensure nothing breaks and everything works as expected

- [x] **Approval** - Get approval from @srid and @kashif-m

## Benefits

- Reproducible builds across environments
- Consistent development setup
- Simplified dependency management
