`installer` CI job broken

[abathur]

Not sure what the cause is, but it looks like the installer CI job (and thus the installer test jobs) broke sometime between these two runs:

• https://github.com/NixOS/nix/actions/runs/8797566961
• https://github.com/NixOS/nix/actions/runs/8800514890

I don't see anything related in the diff between those two commits.

I've only looked back at the master branch.

For reference after the logs expire, the errors are like:

error: a 'x86_64-darwin' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/piy60v6bajxfgk5n462jgklg1rvx9gqn-nix-2.23.0pre20240423_e3a4e40.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {benchmark, big-parallel, kvm, nixos-test, uid-range}
