Subject: [PATCH] Check latest dependency compatibility in nightly CI job

The nightly workflow has been extended with a job that verifies if the
crate can be built with the latest (compatible) versions of all
dependencies. The job will not fail the overall workflow execution
but provides an indication that the crate's MSRV might need to be
adapted.
