ci: the nightly's proofs run last, and cannot hold back the images

Nightly 174 passed acceptance, then Isabelle was killed building HOL-Library
(exit 137, out of memory on the runner), and the images were never built or
published. The proofs check the theories, not the images: they now run after
the publish, whatever happened before them, and a failure still turns the run
red. Their log stays in the run's logs artifact. A release still runs them
before it publishes.
