fix(nix): treat transient magic-cache throttling as skip in fix-lockfiles

Round 1 of #17174 hit `nix-lockfile-check` failure.  Root cause was
NOT a stale hash — the primary `nix (ubuntu-latest)` and
`nix (macos-latest)` builds passed.  GitHub's Magic Nix Cache returned
HTTP 418 (rate-limited / throttled) mid-run, so the rebuild bailed
with `some outputs of '/nix/store/...-npm-deps.drv' are not valid,
so checking is not possible` — no `got:` line for the script to
extract.

The script then incorrectly treated this as 'build failed with no
hash mismatch' and exited 1, breaking the lint on every PR whenever
the cache is throttled.

Now we recognize the throttling/cache-disabled signature and skip
that entry with a warning.  A real stale hash still surfaces in the
primary `.#$ATTR` build (separate CI job), so we don't lose
coverage.
