This PR updates to Zig 0.16. We can take the stock version from nixpkgs, which makes considerable complexity in flake.nix obsolete. I've removed this.

By the way: the latest tagged version is 0.1.2 back from 2023-09-04. A lot has happened since then. I think this project needs a new tag: 0.2.0.

Prior to this change, we used `zig-overlay` as one of our dependencies as well as an old
nixpkgs revision.

This change removes zig-overlay because we can take Zig 0.16.0 from the new nixpkgs.
Prior to this change, this was still part of flake.nix.

This change removes it as it is no longer required.

Prior to this change, we needed a dev version of 0.16.0. This required overlay patching,
trickery with hooks and the like. This is now required any more.

This change takes the default Zig 0.16.0 from nixpkgs. We remove obsolete complexity from flake.nix
and get rid of the whole "overlay" prefix in the flake's packages.
….16.0

Prior to this change, the README.md contained a manuall that does not work with
Zig 0.16.0 any more.

This change adds the required instructions for the latest version.
