Run nix-build in CI

[srid]

I think cachix-action runs it only when there is push access to the cache. There isn't one in this repo, so I guess that's why it is not running nix-build. In any case, it is better to run it explicitly.

Let's wait and see if the CI for this PR in fact runs nix-build.

Looks like this worked. See "Build" step in https://github.com/open-editions/open-editions.org/pull/6/checks?check_run_id=399770931

Awesome! Does this mean I can remove dist/ and just have netlify serve the built result? Is that in result/?

With a few more steps, yes. You can run $(nix-build)/bin/open-editions-org generate --full as a step and then use the netlify Github Action (linked from here) to push the resultant ./dist directory. That might work, but I've never worked with netlify. It is worth a try I think.
