Incrementally update ghcup metadata in ghc/ghcup-metadata

Matthew Pickering requested to merge wip/ghcup-metadata-nightly into master

This job paves the way for distributing nightly builds

  • A new repo https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghcup-metadata stores the metadata on the "updates" branch.
  • Each night this metadata is downloaded and the nightly builds are appended to the end of the metadata.
  • The update job only runs on the scheduled nightly pipeline, not just when NIGHTLY=1.

Things which are not done yet

  • Modify the retention policy for nightly jobs
  • Think about building release flavour compilers to distribute nightly.
