Instead of committing builds of the installer to the prerelease branch using a cronjob, create draft GitHub releases on workflow dispatch. The release includes the nix-installer.sh script to allow running `curl https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/releases/download/v0.27.0/nix-installer.sh | bash` Or to get the latest release: `curl https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/releases/latest/download/nix-installer.sh | bash` Alternatively, binaries for each system can be downloaded from the release directly. One downside of this approach is that the version number is hardcoded in nix-installer.sh, and we'll have to bump it every time we do a release. The release job will error if there's a rev mismatch between the flake built by Hydra and the rev the job is run from. This means we'll only be able to run the job off of main. For testing, a Hydra eval ID can be specified, which skips the rev check. This will create a draft release using the artifacts from that Hydra eval even if there is a revision and/or version mismatch.
