Subject: [PATCH] ci(nix): restore nix CI as trigger-only workflow with local
 entrypoint

Re-adds nix CI (removed in 9eb0bcd60) in minimal form: runs only on
workflow_dispatch or the ci/nix PR label, never on push/PR by default.
Both CI and local devs run the same scripts/nix-ci.sh (check|build).

The old stale-npmDepsHash machinery (fix-lockfiles, sticky comments,
auto-fix job) is intentionally not restored: importNpmLock (#48883)
removed npmDepsHash entirely, so that failure class no longer exists.
Reuses the still-present .github/actions/nix-setup composite (Cachix).
