Why is this necessary as opposed to just vanilla curl?

The curl command inside the parentheses gets the installation script. However, in order to actually run the script you have to pipe it to sh. I'm basically just following the nix install guide https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/installation/installation.

This would probably also work:
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Resolved issues:
N/A
Description of changes:
Installs Nix in our buildspec for KTLS. My understanding of this issue is that build environments "sometimes" get reused, and "sometimes" they do not. So if we want to ensure Nix exists, we need to install it ourselves.

Testing:
ktls tests pass: https://tiny.amazon.com/qzqz64ll/IsenLink
