Nixbot recently added a `build_branches` config option,¹ which allows specifying additional branches to be built on push. This replaces the old behaviour where all branches were built on push. The default branch and merge-queue refs are always built on push and Pull Requests are considered their own non-push event. ¹: Mic92/nixbot@87c9a40

Description
Commit 1
Migrate references to "buildbot" to its replacement, "nixbot" and rename the config file to the new name.
While it probably isn't considered "public API", I added a rename alias to the
buildbotflake output.Commit 2
Explicitly configure nixbot's "build on push" branches, now that it no longer builds all branches by default.
We only need to configure stable branches (
release-*), because the default branch and merge-queue branches are always build on push, and Pull Requests are always build (using a different non-push event).Checklist
Change is backwards compatible.
