* Have separate actions for building Nix, running the regular tests and running the VM tests. * Use magic-nix-cache so users don't need to get Cachix credentials for their forks. * Drop the installer job since we're already building that as part of `nix flake check`.

Would have appreciated a ping here, but luckily I saw it by preparing for my NixCon talk. Two things:
I'm not sure I even want to debate things, but it looks to me the development of Nix is becoming unfriendly to other competitors beyond the blessed one, so I'm not going to try to argue back and forth. |

Closing this since we've significantly reworked our CI in the meantime and no longer use cachix for intermediate artifacts. Instead the installer tarball is a GHA artifact that gets pulled and passed to the cachix install nix install action. The CI itself is now plenty fast. |

Motivation
Some improvements to simplify / speed up GHA CI:
Have separate actions for building Nix, running the regular tests and running the VM tests.
Use magic-nix-cache so users don't need to get Cachix credentials for their forks.
Drop the installer job (which takes ~50 minutes) since we're already building that as part of
nix flake check.Context
