refactor: remove unreachable runner code (#1179)

Remove inherited act APIs, configuration branches, and test seams that neither the daemon nor exec can reach. Constant-fold settings both entry points already enforce and consolidate duplicate runner paths.

Major removals:

- Unwired custom action-cache and local-repository-cache implementations.
- Legacy matrix, platform, input, container-reuse, logging, Git remote, and action-replacement configuration paths.
- Unused Docker socket, container network, tar-copy, and platform PTY wrappers.
- Single-implementation filesystem, environment, runner, and expression abstractions.
- Duplicated step-container, command-logging, credential, reusable-workflow, and execution paths.
- Generated client mock boilerplate, obsolete fixtures, test-only seams, stale wrappers, and commented-out code.

This removes 2844 net Go lines while retaining Gitea RPC, event, matrix, input, cache, artifact, action, reusable workflow, Docker, host, exec, and release behavior.
