manifest: only include miri on the nightly channel

miri needs to build std with xargo, which doesn't allow stable/beta:
<https://github.com/japaric/xargo/pull/204#issuecomment-374888868>

Therefore, at this time there's no point in making miri available on any
but the nightly channel.  If we get a stable way to build `std`, like
[RFC 2663], then we can re-evaluate whether to start including miri,
perhaps still as `miri-preview`.

[RFC 2663]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2663
