* There are two main functions: get_download_url (system‑specific binary) and get_src_download_url (source tarball). * Avoid using nix to retrieve data whenever possible, but provide a fallback to nix if the non‑Nix method does not yield results. Signed-off-by: Chin Yeung Li <tli@nexb.com>

Reference: #201
The code tries to get package metadata from https://search.devbox.sh/v2/. If the package cannot be found there, it will try to use the
nixcommand to retrieve the metadata (ifnixis installed on the host system).It then uses https://cache.nixos.org/ to retrieve the download url such as: https://cache.nixos.org/0kz6msxd62b2hx2pacs1vvl6al5ma3ri.narinfo
Note that there are certain requirements: a system qualifier and version are required.
In addition to getting the download URL of the binary, I've also implemented a function to get the upstream source download URL.
Some samples run:
(Note that the
flakerefqualifier only works forget_upstream_src_download_url, as "cache.nixos.org" only stores official packages, whereasflakerefusually points to third-party locations.)For reference, the official Nix packages can be found at https://search.nixos.org/packages
