Major updates for `nps`, the better #nix #nixos package search 🎉
NEW 🥳 yay!
* Use `nix search` for flake-based systems
* Case-insensitive search
* Much faster! ⚡⚡
* Rewrite in #rust
FIXES 🥳 yay!
* More reliable through CI tests
BREAKS 😮 boo!
* Change CLI arguments and ENV VAR setting names
* Important matches at the bottom by default
* Case-insensitive search by default
* Repo renamed to `nps` (for nixpkgs)

Why port `nps` from bash to #rust? Bash is a great language for small scripts,
but it does not scale well once the codebase grows beyond a certain size or
complexity. So I could rave about `nps` now
* being actually maintainable,
* havin a prettier CLI interface,
* being easily testable (local and CI), or
* being 3-10 times faster in real-world scenarios.
However, the main reason is that I just wanted to learn Rust. Steep
learning curve, but fun to work with. 😁
