Description of changes

Add JetBrains Gateway. This has been tested against JetBrains JDK 17 to be working on NixOS unstable. There is also a minor fix in environment variables for the JetBrains Client to launch correctly from any of the JetBrains IDEs including this as well.

I don't have a darwin device to test this, would appreciate if darwin users can try it out as well.

Credits to https://discourse.nixos.org/t/jetbrains-gateway-client-support-on-nixos/18108 on identifying the additional environment variable to be set.

This should supersede the previous PR #148035.

Tried it out using IDEA Community against a VM via ssh, I got it to compile a simple Java hello world.

The IDE does throw a lot of exceptions though (example, shows up as a red notification in the bottom right), I don't know if this is our fault for using a bad JDK or an upstream problem.

I've mainly been using CLion, while I didn't notice the same issues there are some other problems such as the IDE can't be restarted remotely, plugins don't behave the same way as when running natively etc. The logs don't seem helpful enough to diagnose this issue. I don't have another non nixos system to verify these issues, but I think Gateway is at least usable for now, more importantly other IDEs can also launch a remote instance once the appropriate env var is set.
