bug#55848: [cuirass] workers stalled

Substitutes for aarch64 are a lot healthier now. Thanks Ludovic!

* kreuzberg is now successfully building and has been for a while.
* ci.guix.gnu.has has 41% of substitutes (a low percentage, but likely a
  high percentage of toolchains). 0 jobs are queued, presumably because Curiass
  believes its up-to-date. This should increase over time, as packages
  are updated.
* bordeaux has 83.8% of substitutes.

A few issues remain for aarch64:

* grunewald and kreuzberg are not on <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/workers>.
  Perhaps they were taken down while the substitute ratio was low to
  avoid each worker independently recompiling expensive toolchains?
* rust@1.39.0 (and thus all of Rust) is missing from ci and bordeaux. I
  had expected this would have been working. I'll take a look and raise
  a separate issue.
