Signal 8.31.0 from nixpkgs master

By Gustaf Granström 

Signal quit at start with "Database Error": CachyOS ran 8.31.0, which
moved the database to a schema 8.29.0 (nixos-unstable's) can't open.
Take signal-desktop from a pinned master commit (cached on
cache.nixos.org) until nixos-unstable has 8.31.0; the overlay now gets
the flake's inputs for that.
