Subject: [PATCH] ioc/outputs: generate an overlay containing the top package

this generates an nixpkgs overlay[1],
with the current top as a package inside `epnix.support`

[1]: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#chap-overlays

this means that the top can be exported as a support module,
and dependants top can import that support module by importing the overlay,
and adding the package in the `epnix.support.modules` option
