pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix: add Hydra jobs for pkgsCross.platform.nixStatic

This commit causes Hydra to build `nixStatic` on non-NixOS platforms
for which nixStatic is known to build correctly.

Providing Hydra builds of `nixStatic` on these platforms allows users
to bootstrap their local nixpkgs system without either having to:

a. Trust binaries that came from a source other than Hydra or

b. Fight with their host distribution to satisfy all of nix's large
   set of build dependencies (this is not easy!)

Currently there are two platforms in this set: mips64el-linux-gnuabi64
and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
