(Migrated from github.com)

This PR adds documentation how to override the nixpkgs used by Lanzaboote, if you don't want to use flakes. For this we use https://github.com/nilla-nix/flake-compat.

Compared to #465 we avoid having to track dependencies in multiple places.

While I was here I also changed our examples to use npins instead of niv, because this seems to be more popular these days.
