run mypy even if ruff fails

Because all the checks are performed in the same job and github
actions will stop at the first step failure within a job, if one of
the ruff checks (formatting or checking) fails then mypy does not run
at all, which is undesirable.

Turns out the steps have an implicit `if success()` if no [status
check function][check] (`success`, `failure`, `always`, `cancelled`)
is used to guard the step.

Thus by gating on `always` and possibly explicitly checking the
conclusion of specific checks it becomes possible to run `mypy` even
though `ruff check` failed, but not run it if *installing* mypy
failed.
