Build & Deploy (Nix) / build-and-deploy (push) Successful in 15s
The CI runner container can't access the VPS host's systemd and Nix
directly. Instead of installing Nix in the container and trying to
access the host, SSH directly to the VPS to build and deploy.
This approach:
1. SSHs to the VPS using the VPS_SSH_KEY_VALUE secret
2. Pulls the latest code on the VPS
3. Builds with Nix directly on the VPS
4. Updates nix-env profile and restarts systemd service

Docker socket /var/run/docker.sock is available in the runner
container. Use docker run --pid=host --privileged to access
the VPS host filesystem via chroot to execute nix-env and systemctl.

The deploy step runs with 'sudo' which resets PATH, so nix-env is
not found. Use explicit path to the nix-env binary.

Re-instate Determinate Systems installer with correct flags:
- install --no-confirm (not --no-daemon which it doesn't support)
- Nix installs to /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin
- Source daemon profile in build step

Build & Deploy (Nix) / build-and-deploy (push) Failing after 11s
The Determinate Systems installer doesn't support --no-daemon.
Switch to the official Nix installer which has a well-documented
--no-daemon flag suitable for container/CI use.

The Gitea Actions runner image (docker.gitea.com/runner-images:ubuntu-latest)
does not have Nix pre-installed, causing 'nix: command not found' on the
build step.
Add an 'Install Nix' step using the Determinate Systems installer
(--no-daemon mode since the runner runs in a container).
