Nixpkgs: code-server

[wucke13]

Project description
code-server lets one run a server, which serves the vscode UI from a browser. It is a bit different thant vscode in the same way as vscodium, in the way that it is debranded. I'd really like to use this, as vscodium currently seems to not work withe Microsoft Remote extensions (which is a shame - this would be a very powerful feature).

I tried packing this, however the differences are big enough so that a modified version of vscodium.nix was not sufficient to make the build succeed. Probably somebody with more experience on packaging node/electron stuff in Nix will be able to get this working fast.

For the sake of completeness my failed attempt at packaging this can be found here: https://github.com/wucke13/nixpkgs/blob/code-server/pkgs/applications/editors/vscode/code-server.nix
