ci: stop archiving every dependency's unpacked source in each cache (#5566)

The four consolidated ci keys plus the build keys still do not fit the
repository's fixed 10GB Actions cache quota, so LRU keeps evicting them:
measured demand is ci-dev 2331MB + ci-feat-proto 2310MB + ci-feat-rio 1951MB +
ci-uring 1317MB + two build legs at ~1429MB + cargo-deny 844MB, and main pushes
add two more build legs. That is roughly 14.4GB against 10.24GB. The symptom is
misleading: Cache Warm reports every job successful and the restores log "full
match: true", yet ci-feat-rio and ci-uring disappear from the cache list between
runs.

cache-all-crates was the wrong default for this repository. With it set to true,
rust-cache's cleanup returns before pruning ~/.cargo/registry/src and its config
archives the whole registry, so every cache carried the unpacked source tree of
every dependency — not, as the name suggests, just a few extra crates.

Setting it to false is rust-cache's own default and loses no coverage: the
package set comes from `cargo metadata --all-features`, a strict superset of any
single lane's feature closure; -sys crates are explicitly exempt from pruning,
since their source timestamps would otherwise trigger rebuilds; and everything
pruned is re-unpacked from the .crate files still in registry/cache, whose
mtimes crates.io normalises, so cargo fingerprints stay valid.

Applied to the setup composite and to audit.yml's own rust-cache. Cache Warm
now also reports the sizes of registry/src, registry/cache, registry/index,
~/.cargo/git and target/ to the step summary, immediately before rust-cache's
post step archives them, so the size of the effect is measured rather than
assumed.

The new sizes only appear once the cache key next rotates, since rust-cache
skips the save entirely on an exact key hit. Deliberately not forcing that by
bumping prefix-key: it would invalidate every family at once and produce a
repository-wide cold build.
