Test failure in nightly due to circular dependency in a package environment

[giordano]

The test failure on nightly is unrelated to this PR and it's caused by this new warning being printed by Pkg:

┌ Warning: Circular dependency detected. Precompilation will be skipped for:

The problem seems to be that we install Artifacts from the registry, instead of the stdlib in the current julia version, which depends on Pkg, causing a circular dependency
