inform6: init at 6.34-6.12.2

nixpkgs already has Inform 7, which is a lovely design system for creating interactive fiction (text adventures) using a natural language compiler and a rich IDE. However, underlying Inform 7 is a C-like language, Inform 6, which has a much simpler toolchain and its own compiler and standard libraries, which I have packaged for nix here.
