cachix-action v14 added a new daemon mode, which pushes new derivations to the store as soon as they have been built. This replaces the seed cachix workflow nicely by just pushing from all jobs directly.

Seeding cachix this way seems to have worked fine, will merge this, too. |

To be able to merge #3194, I need to seed cachix first, otherwise the full rebuild of all dependencies makes the jobs time out. This can only happen from the postgrest repo and not from a fork, because otherwise the cachix push secret is not passed to the workflow.
Investigating the best way to do this, I found out that just a few weeks ago the cachix-action we are using has been given a new "daemon mode". This daemon mode keeps pushing new derivations as soon as they are build. It should be enabled by default, already. This should easily be able to replace the "seed cachix" workflow, which was designed to push all derivations in pieces to avoid the "nothing pushed because of timeout problem".
In this MR, I took everything from #3194 and then added a commit to pass the cachix token to all jobs in the CI workflow. Those jobs should now push new derivations continuously - and in case of a timeout, we just run that job again. In theory that job should then pick up where it left off.
