ci: use Artifactory remote in nix workflow (#4556)

There is now an Artifactory (thanks @shichengripple001 and team!) to
hold dependency binaries for the builds.

* Rewrite the `nix` workflow to use it and cut the time down to a mere
  21 minutes.
  * This workflow should continue to work (just more slowly) for forks
    that do not have access to the Artifactory.

+# This workflow has two job matrixes.
+# They can be considered phases because the second matrix ("test")
+# depends on the first ("dependencies").
+#
+# The first phase has a job in the matrix for each combination of
+# variables that affects dependency ABI:
+# platform, compiler, and configuration.
+# It creates a GitHub artifact holding the Conan profile,
+# and builds and caches binaries for all the dependencies.
+# If an Artifactory remote is configured, they are cached there.
+# If not, they are added to the GitHub artifact.
+# GitHub's "cache" action has a size limit (10 GB) that is too small
+# to hold the binaries if they are built locally.
+# We must use the "{upload,download}-artifact" actions instead.
+#
+# The second phase has a job in the matrix for each test configuration.
+# It installs dependency binaries from the cache, whichever was used,
+# and builds and tests rippled.
