Update CI: No nightly tests, improve macOS CI setup + use julia-actions/cache (#1863)

* Test prereleases if available

* Fix name?

* Fix matrix

* Fixes

* Fix syntax

* Another round of fixes

* Remove prerelease CI

* Better mac fix?

* Fix typo

* Fix failing tests on 1.11-beta (#1862)

* Increase sample size when testing empirical moments of DiscreteNonParametric

* Use StableRNGs for semicircle.jl to avoid breakage on 1.11-beta

* Run CI on all PRs. Also CI for workflow_dispatch and merge_group

* Update semicircle.jl
