Subject: [PATCH] CI: Build with Nix. (#137)

### What

Now that our Nix build is generally quite fast, thanks to proper
caching, we can run it on every pull request.

Once this is merged, we can use [GitHub Actions' `workflow_run`
event](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_run)
to trigger other builds, which means we will not have to spin-wait to
run other jobs (such as the benchmarks or end-to-end tests).

### How

It's a new CI workflow. Mostly I copied and pasted stuff.
