Nixpacks GitHub Action

The official `iloveitaly/github-action-nixpacks` GitHub Action wraps the Nixpacks CLI so that CI pipelines can build and optionally push OCI images directly from a workflow without installing Nixpacks manually. The action accepts the same overrides as the CLI (image tags, platform, push target, plan path, environment variables) and is commonly paired with Docker login actions to publish images to GitHub Container Registry, Docker Hub, or any OCI-compliant registry.
