trilium-next: init at 0.90.4

[eliandoran]

This PR adds TriliumNext Notes which is a fork of Trilium Notes, which has entered maintenance mode.

Basically I've taken the original package description for Trilium and adapted it for the fork. I've also changed the server module to take in a package attribute.

Note: I am also the upstream maintainer of TriliumNext Notes.

Closes #339237

should be in pkgs/by-name

[fabian-mv]

sadly this wont be coming out in 24.11, since branch out was 4 days ago. this is very bad, as trilium next is now more important as sync became incompatible with the old version.

this means that trilium next won't be in nixpkgs until mid-2025 (since releases are very 6months). pretty sad if you ask me

@eliandoran i can help if you need

[FliegendeWurst]

New packages can always be backported. No problem there.

[FliegendeWurst]

I tried to package using nixpkgs' electron instead: https://github.com/FliegendeWurst/nixpkgs/blob/trilium-next/pkgs/applications/office/trilium-next/desktop.nix

... but for some reason, locale data is missing:

@eliandoran do you know how this could be fixed? Do I need to add some more flags to my electron invocation?

[FliegendeWurst]

I fixed the above issue and created #356930

[eliandoran]

Closing in favor of #356930.
