Subject: [PATCH] build(faust): auto re-exec under nix-shell when faust is
 missing

If faust isn't in PATH but nix-shell is, transparently re-exec the
script via `nix-shell -p faust --run` instead of erroring out with a
hint. NISPS_BUILD_IN_NIX_SHELL guards against infinite recursion if the
shell somehow still lacks faust.
