This PR adds a Nix development shell, to provide each contributor with the same environment to work with. Currently only JDK8 and Maven are installed, but if there is a longer list of shell prerequisites, these can be added easily.
This PR also adds a direnv support, so that the shell dependencies are loaded up automatically just by entering a project directory.
Currently, the project fails to build under newer Java versions, and recommends usage of Java 8, which many people have to downgrade to.
Closes #14049
