Unify container build workflows (#306)
All checks were successful
Build Container / detect (push) Successful in 3s

## Summary
- Merges `build-container.yaml` and `build-container-nix.yaml` into a single workflow
- Detect job classifies each changed container by presence of `Dockerfile` and/or `default.nix`
- Dockerfile containers build on `k8s` (indri) via Dagger; Nix containers build on `nix-container-builder` (ringtail) via nix-build + skopeo
- Containers with both build files (alloy, nettest, ntfy) get built on both runners

## Test plan
- [ ] Push a change to a Dockerfile-only container (e.g. grafana) — verify it builds on k8s only
- [ ] Push a change to a nix-only container (e.g. jobsync) — verify it builds on nix-container-builder only
- [ ] Push a change to a dual container (e.g. ntfy) — verify it builds on both runners
- [ ] Test workflow_dispatch with a specific container name

## Context
Discovered during analysis of [[adopt-commit-based-container-tags]]: nix containers (authentik, ntfy, nettest) derive their bundled app version from the nixpkgs pin, not from an explicit declaration. To validate that a VERSION file matches the actual nix-built version, we need a way to query the version from nix.

Currently, nix containers can only be built on ringtail (the `nix-container-builder` runner). There is no local build path for developers — the only option is to push and wait for CI. Adding a Dagger-based nix build gives both local evaluation and version extraction.

## Verification
- [ ] `dagger call build-nix --src=. --container-name=nettest` produces a valid docker-archive tarball
- [ ] `dagger call build-nix --src=. --container-name=ntfy` produces a valid docker-archive tarball
- [ ] `dagger call nix-version --src=. --package=ntfy-sh` returns the correct version string
- [ ] `dagger call nix-version --src=. --package=authentik` returns the Authentik version
- [ ] Tarball from `build-nix` can be loaded with `docker load` and run locally
