Subject: [PATCH] gaming: install Minecraft Bedrock via nix-flatpak

Add the nix-flatpak flake input and wire its NixOS module into the gaming
module to declaratively install io.mrarm.mcpelauncher from Flathub. The
Flatpak build tracks the newer, pairip-protected Bedrock releases ahead of
the nixpkgs mcpelauncher package.
