Added nx-cloud start-ci-run to Nx-orchestrated CI jobs

[9larsons]

Calls nx-cloud start-ci-run once in job_setup, before any other nx command (the affected-project queries). Downstream lint/admin/unit/acceptance/legacy/playwright jobs run nx tasks that attribute to this Pipeline Execution via the shared GITHUB_RUN_ID. Surfaces per-task analytics (cache hit rates, durations, flake counts) in the Nx Cloud dashboard grouped per workflow run.

Tasks invoked outside Nx (i18n filter, Tinybird, version/migration scripts) remain uncorrelated.

Test plan

• CI green on this PR
• Pipeline Execution shows up in Nx Cloud dashboard for this PR's workflow with tasks from all six nx-running jobs grouped under one entry

Walkthrough

The CI workflow file is updated to insert a new "Start Nx Cloud CI run" step in the job_setup job immediately after the "Install dependencies" step. The step executes pnpm nx start-ci-run to initialize an Nx Cloud CI run. No other job logic, configuration, or step ordering is changed.

- Around line 181-183: The pnpm nx-cloud start-ci-run command in the "Start Nx
Cloud CI run" step will fail because the nx-cloud package is not installed and
the Nx Cloud authentication token is not configured. Add the nx-cloud package as
a devDependency in package.json, then add the NX_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN environment
variable to the GitHub Actions workflow (either as a secret or directly in the
workflow step's env section, depending on your security setup) to enable proper
Nx Cloud authentication and registration during the CI run.
