Brandon Lucas 8e788c8a9f fix: embed C compiler path at build time for self-contained binary
build.rs captures the absolute path to cc/gcc/clang during compilation
and bakes it into the binary. On Nix systems this embeds the full
/nix/store path so `lux compile` works without cc on PATH.

Lookup order: $CC env var > embedded build-time path > PATH search.
