Fix static build cache by using cachix

It looks like we always hit the caching issue in Cirrus CI described
within #8313. A solution around that is to use cachix, which has been
pre-populated from my local machine.

To push all (runtime and build) dependencies, we can leverage a
pre-populated store by:

```
> nix-store -qR --include-outputs $(nix-instantiate nix/default.nix) | cachix push podman
```

The cache can be re-used by everybody to rapidly build static Podman
binaries: https://app.cachix.org/cache/podman

[NO TESTS NEEDED]
