Subject: [PATCH] [nix] separate build phase for mlirbc builder

This commit simplify the process developers should take for debugging
elaborator.

To get parameter that feeds to elaborator, developer can now run the
following command line:

```bash
nix develop .#t1.<config-name>.<top-name>.mlirbc
eval "$configGenPhase"
ls stage1
```
