chore(release): prepare v1.2.3

The previous commit moved the CVE-2026-109618/109619 floor into a bare
`assert ... ; { ... }` above the module body.  That breaks evaluation:

  error: infinite recursion encountered
  ... while evaluating the module argument `pkgs` in
      /nix/store/...-source/modules/php.nix
  ... noting that argument `pkgs` is not externally provided, so querying
      `_module.args` instead, requiring `config`

A module-level assert is checked as soon as the module's attrset is forced
to WHNF, which the module system does while merging definitions (it is the
`checkUnmatched` branch in lib/modules.nix that was on the stack).  At that
point `pkgs` is not an externally supplied argument — there are no
specialArgs here — so it resolves through `config._module.args.pkgs`
(lib/modules.nix:745), and that option lives in the same fixpoint that is
still being computed.  Hence the loop.  The old code never hit this because
`phpBase` was only forced from inside `options`/`config`, i.e. after the
fixpoint existed.

Move the check to `config.assertions`, which is evaluated inside the
fixpoint once `pkgs` is available.  Behaviour is unchanged: a rolled-back
nixpkgs pin still fails the build with the floor message instead of
silently building a vulnerable PHP.
