Update the patching flake to use the devbox flake (added in 37c36a1) instead of copying the binary manually. - It uses the flakeref `"github:jetify-com/devbox/" + build.Version` to get the same version of Devbox that's currently running. - For dev builds, it attempts to find the devbox source and use the local flake instead. When Devbox needs to patch a package, it generates a flake that calls `devbox patch` as its builder. Because flake builds are sandboxed, we need a way of getting devbox into the Nix store. Previously, we were just copying the currently running devbox executable into the Nix store and using that. However, Devbox isn't actually a static binary (we don't build with CGO_ENABLED=0). This causes `devbox patch` to fail because the flake is isolated from the system's linker.
