feat(actions): add job summaries (GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY) (#37500)

- Add GitHub-style Actions **job summaries** support
(`GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY` / `workflow/SUMMARY.md`) and render them on the
run Summary view.
- Store uploaded summaries internally in the DB (not as downloadable
artifacts).
- Add runtime-token endpoint for runners to upload summaries:
- `PUT
/api/actions_pipeline/_apis/pipelines/workflows/{run_id}/jobs/{job_id}/summary`
- Advertise support to runners via `RunnerService.Declare` response
header:
  - `X-Gitea-Actions-Capabilities: job-summary`
- Devtest: extend `/devtest/repo-action-view/...` to include mock
`jobSummaries` for previewing UI rendering.

## Compatibility
- New Gitea + old runner: no summary upload → UI shows nothing (no
behavior change)
- New runner + old Gitea: capability not advertised → runner skips
upload (no behavior change)

## Screenshot:
