atlas e2da5509ae swarm-ci-runner: run the forge CI runner as a swarm service
The CI runner was a hive deploy module: hive-ci.nix ran it beside the
forge, and hive-c0re registered it through the forge's admin API with
the `core` token, writing the registration token through hive-priv. It
could only run on the forge's host, and it kept an admin-scoped forge
token on a hive.

Now the runner is a swarm service:

- swarm-ci-runner.nix runs it in a `swarm-ci-runner` container on the
  host that sets deploy.ci-runner.enable, reaching the forge by name.
  It needs neither the forge nor a hive there.
- swarm-controller reads the forge's runner registration token with its
  own admin token and writes it to swarm/services/ci-runner/
  registration-token whenever it differs from what it last wrote. Its
  grant on that path is create/update only.
- The runner's own leaf (CN swarm-ci-runner, role and policy of the same
  name) reads that one path. swarm-bao-ci-runner.service fetches it into
  the runner's EnvironmentFile and restarts the runner on a change.
- A pre-start step removes .runner when the daemon's journal since its
  last start holds Forgejo's "unregistered runner" refusal (the daemon
  exits 1 when its startup Declare gets it), or when .runner names
  another forge address; upstream's pre-start step then registers again.

Removed from the hive side: hive-ci.nix and deploy.forgejo.ci.*,
forge/ci_runner.rs, PrivRequest::RegisterCiRunner and its handler and
ReadWritePaths entry, InfraContainer::Ci with hivectl's --ci and the
dashboard's hive-ci journal entry, HYPERHIVE_FORGE_CI_ENABLED, and
read:admin,write:admin from CORE_TOKEN_SCOPES: nothing else in hive-c0re
calls /api/v1/admin/*. The old ci options, under both swarm.forge.ci and
deploy.forgejo.ci, now fail evaluation naming deploy.ci-runner.

The forge's half of the old ci.enable, the actions/checkout mirror and
DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL = self, is deploy.forgejo.actionsFromSelf.

Closes #4954

# The swarm's Forgejo Actions runner, in a `swarm-ci-runner` container on the
# host that sets `deploy.ci-runner.enable`. It reaches the forge by name and
# reads its registration token from the secret store under a certificate of
# its own, so nothing here asks whether this host runs the forge or a hive.
#
# ⚠️ Two properties here are load-bearing and neither is visible from the
# config that implements it:
#
# - The container gets its OWN network namespace, not the host's, so a PR's
# nix build cannot reach host-loopback services. That is a
# prompt-injection boundary; moving this to host netns for convenience
# removes it. `docs/networking/network.md::Container isolation`.
# - The forge ADMIN token never enters this container. swarm-controller holds
# it and publishes only the registration token, which the runner's own store
# identity reads. `docs/scheduler/ci.md::Registration`.
#
# Non-ephemeral on purpose: the runner writes its registered credentials
# (`.runner`) to its state dir and reuses them, so an ephemeral container
# would register a new runner on every restart.
