agent afc1701f84 ci: assert the published image still contains the toolchain the gates need
This image is a TOOLCHAIN, so "it built" is not the property worth checking —
"it still contains what the repo's gates shell out to" is.

It exists because the hand-built image had drifted from this Dockerfile: the
deployed ci3 carried gcc, musl-dev, python3 and py3-yaml, the Dockerfile did
not, and rebuilding from the Dockerfile silently dropped them. Gitea CI then
failed at "credentials-coverage: need python3" without reaching the tests at
all. Nothing in the pipeline objected, because every check asked whether the
image built, not what was in it.

Asserts python3 with a working yaml import, gcc, node, bash, make, curl, tar
and git-http-backend, on BOTH architectures — a package that resolves on amd64
but not arm64 would otherwise reach half the nodes unnoticed.

Verified the check can actually FAIL, which is the only property that makes it
worth having: against the bare forgejo/runner:12.11.1 it reports python3+yaml,
gcc, node and git-http-backend all MISSING; with the packages installed it
reports 3.12.14 and ok for the rest.

# Publishes the runner toolchain image to ghcr.io.
#
# Why GitHub rather than our own Gitea Actions: the runners are host mode
# (`ubuntu-latest:host`, no job containers) and their container drops ALL
# capabilities with allowPrivilegeEscalation:false. Rootless buildah needs
# newuidmap/user namespaces for its RUN steps, so building images there would
# mean weakening the posture that hardening established. GitHub runners have
# docker + buildx + QEMU already.
#
# Why ghcr.io rather than the Gitea registry: gitea.langenoja.se sits behind
# Cloudflare, whose request-body cap returns 413 on a registry layer. The
# cluster already pulls zegit's own images from ghcr.io and the runner
# deployments already carry a github-registry-credentials pull secret, so this
# reuses an established, trusted path instead of inventing one.
