update-flake-lock

This is a GitHub Action that will update your flake.lock file whenever it is run.

NOTE: We hardcode the install_url to a relatively recent nixUnstable (nix-2.5pre20211015_130284b currently). If you need a newer version that includes a new feature or important bug fix, feel free to file an issue or send a PR bumping the install_url inside the action.yml!
