docs: Add instructions for getting git on fresh install

Browse Source 
This commit adds a small tip to the README.md explaining how to
use `nix-shell -p git` to temporarily obtain git in order to clone
the repository on a completely fresh NixOS install that might not
have git in its system packages yet.

To deploy this on a fresh NixOS system for the hackathon without experimental features:
1. Connect your Meshtastic node via USB.
2. Clone this repository to the machine: `git clone https://github.com/jshiffer/lora-xmpp-bridge.git /etc/nixos/lora-xmpp-bridge`.
3. Edit your `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` to include the module and configuration block as shown above.
4. Create the password file: `echo "yourpassword" | sudo tee /run/secrets/xmpp_password && sudo chmod 600 /run/secrets/xmpp_password`.
5. Apply the configuration: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch`.
6. Verify it's running: `systemctl status sovereign-bridge.service`.
2. If your fresh install doesn't have `git`, you can easily drop into a temporary shell that has it:
```bash
nix-shell -p git
```
3. Clone this repository to the machine (we recommend placing it near your config):
```bash
sudo git clone https://github.com/jshiffer/lora-xmpp-bridge.git /etc/nixos/lora-xmpp-bridge
```
4. Edit your `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` to include the module and configuration block as shown above.
5. Create the password file: `echo "yourpassword" | sudo tee /run/secrets/xmpp_password && sudo chmod 600 /run/secrets/xmpp_password`.
6. Apply the configuration: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch`.
7. Verify it's running: `systemctl status sovereign-bridge.service`.
