nix: add dashboard build with dream2nix

Continue working towards a fully Nix based build by building the
dashboard with Nix. Continuing the theme of using the existing lock
files, use dream2nix to parse the lock file and build the tree of
dependency derivations.

dream2nix doesn't like the bundleDependencies, so we apply a small patch
to the lock file that drops all dependencies that are bundled. This
should ideally be contributed upstream but that can be done later.

Use this new dashboard build in the build-app CI workflow, meaning
future macOS apps will include this reproducible dashboard.

Test plan:
- Built a DMG, shipped to a cluster, loaded in a browser with no cache
  and the dashboard looks good.

- Directory layout is as expected:
```
$ nix build .#dashboard
$ find result/
...
result/_app/immutable/entry
result/_app/immutable/entry/app.CTPAnMjf.js
result/_app/immutable/entry/start.fUSEa-2O.js
result/_app/immutable/nodes
result/_app/immutable/nodes/3.DqQr1Obm.js
result/_app/immutable/nodes/0.DgEY44RO.js
result/_app/immutable/nodes/2.BjZg_lJh.js
result/_app/immutable/nodes/1.D6vGUYYT.js
result/_app/env.js

result/index.html
```
