Hourly CI updates broken due to protected main branch

[infinisil]

Since about 3 weeks ago the hourly CI updates and deploys started failing due to branch protection seemingly being turned on at that point. This leads to the unstable manuals on the homepage being very outdated.

This is the first CI update failure: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/actions/runs/6386890594/job/17334343347

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.        
remote: error: Changes must be made through a pull request.        
To https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage
 ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> master (protected branch hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage'

Should be fixed by just turning off branch protection again.

thank you @infinisil I've removed the protection and rerun the hourly updates.

The update failed, but I submitted a fix here: #1142

Yet again branch protection has been turned on, breaking the regular updates.. https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/actions/runs/8855609505/job/24320730665

The last succeeding build was 1.5 months ago! This is why I'm not finding any updates to the manuals recently 😞

unfortunately I don't have the rights to fix this, tagging @garbas here

Update on this: So there's a new separate workflow that only runs weekly now and opens PR's instead of pushing directly. And apparently the old workflow that ran daily and does direct pushes hasn't been removed yet. Makes all sense now!

It is unfortunate that even the unstable manual only gets updated once a week now.. Originally it was once an hour!
