Description

This syncs up the latest Nix package, unbreaks the Nix package build, and also attempts to add CI checks/updates for the Nix hash to prevent this from happening in the future.

From now on, whenever a PR is opened, and go.mod/go.sum are changed, the Nix package is built by CI, and it will fail if the hash is incorrect. Any maintainer can subsequently update the hash themselves, or post the hash in a PR review comment and ask the user to update their PR.

Additionally, since Dependabot automates Go package updates, this PR adds an action to run nix-update in order to get the new hash, and updates the Dependabot PR with the hash change.

Ultimately, the maintainers are still responsible for updating the version number on their own before release. This cannot be automated away, unfortunately.

How to test?

Next time a Dependabot update happens, the Dependabot action should trigger and update the Nix hash.

Additionally, the next time a go.mod/go.sum change happens, a successful Nix package build should be a prerequisite for merging.
