Add configurable upstream cache filtering

[garbas]

Summary

This PR adds intelligent upstream cache filtering and performance optimizations to avoid redundant uploads when pushing Nix store paths to custom substituters. It also migrates the development environment to Flox and adds comprehensive developer tooling.

Key Features

🎯 Configurable Upstream Cache Filtering

• Adds new upstream-caches input parameter that accepts comma or newline-separated cache URLs
• Defaults to checking both cache.nixos.org and cache.flox.dev
• Automatically includes the target substituter in the check list to prevent re-uploading existing paths
• Only pushes paths that don't exist in any configured upstream cache

⚡ Performance Optimization (14x Faster)

Replaced sequential per-path cache checking with parallel batch queries:

• Before: 134 seconds (1000 sequential network calls for 500 paths × 2 caches)
• After: 10 seconds (2 parallel batch calls)
• Speedup: 14x faster

Implementation:

• Batches all paths into a single nix path-info query per cache
• Runs all cache queries in parallel using background jobs
• Uses comm for efficient set difference operations

🛠️ Developer Tooling

• Flox Migration: Replaced Nix flakes with Flox for reproducible development environments
• Developer Documentation: Added .claude/CLAUDE.md with project architecture, development commands, and implementation details
• Performance Benchmarking: Added scripts/benchmark-cache-check.sh to validate and measure cache checking performance
• README Updates: Comprehensive development setup guide with Flox installation and usage

Benefits

• ✅ Significantly reduces CI/CD pipeline time when pushing to custom substituters
• ✅ Avoids unnecessary uploads and bandwidth usage (skips paths already in public caches)
• ✅ Prevents duplicate storage of paths already in target substituter
• ✅ Configurable to support additional upstream caches as needed
• ✅ Easier developer onboarding with Flox-based environment

Example Configuration

- uses: flox/configure-nix-action@main
  with:
    substituter: s3://my-cache
    substituter-key: ${{ secrets.NIX_KEY }}
    # Optional: customize upstream caches to check
    upstream-caches: |
      https://cache.nixos.org
      https://cache.flox.dev
      https://cache.garnix.io

Benchmark Results

Testing with 500 paths against 2 caches:

Sequential approach: 153.39s
Parallel approach:   10.57s
Speedup:            14.51x faster 🚀

Both approaches verified against identical path sets (checksum validation included).

Test Plan

• Benchmark parallel vs sequential cache checking
• Verify paths are checked against all configured upstream caches
• Verify target substituter is automatically included in checks
• Test with default upstream caches (cache.nixos.org and cache.flox.dev)
• Test with custom upstream caches specified
• Verify that paths existing in upstream are skipped
• Verify that new paths are still pushed correctly
• Test Flox development environment setup on clean machine
