To enable *required status checks / workflows* in the future, we'd like to run all workflows unconditionally. Since those workflows are already using cachix, the additional runs will be very cheap. Yes, we'll run additional jobs, but that will be temporary only, see next commits. The immediate upside is, that we're not going to accidentally miss some of the paths that would cause rebuilds as we did in the past. (cherry picked from commit 540fd4e)
This new workflow builds both manuals, the shell and the lib tests all in a matrix of four jobs. This allows re-using the shared checkout and the pinned nixpkgs download and saves time in the most likely cache: No changes, just download from cache. Each step checks the cancelled condition, which causes it to run even if the previous steps failed. This way we get a full picture even if the first step fails immediately. This could later be optimized to build more in parallel as well, but we'll first need to clear the conditions on building the manuals on the master branch only. This reduces the number of jobs from up to 8 to 4 for this part. (cherry picked from commit cd82aa5)
