Currently, the olddeps ci job specifies nixos-25.05 channel, but this is ignored in local ci runs, because the channel is set in .github/workflows/ci.yml not ci/scripts/run.sh.

Also rename CI environment variables to consistently use CI_ prefix

Currently, olddeps ci job specifies nixos-25.05 channel, but this is
ignored in local ci runs, because the NIXPKGS_CHANNEL is passed as the
cachiex nix path instead of being passed directly to nix develop.

Fix this and also rename the NIXPKGS_CHANNEL environment variable to
CI_NIXPKGS_CHANNEL because CI configuration variables are supposed to
have the CI_ prefix. The NIXPKGS_CHANNEL looks misleadingly like an
upstream configuration variable when it's just a local setting.
