Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like a way to know the root of the project from inside the nix develop shell.

Describe the solution you'd like
Running nix develop should automatically set a FLAKE_ROOT env var that points to the absolute path to the directory containing the flake.nix. If nix develop is run on a remote flake URL (eg: nix develop github:user/repo) this environment can be unset.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Set this env var manually in the shellHook, à la: https://github.com/srid/flake-root

Additional context
cachix/git-hooks.nix#268 (review)
