* ci: move lightweight jobs to GitHub-hosted Ubuntu
Move API-only control jobs and prebuilt Docker image packaging to ubuntu-latest. Keep lab suites and heavy compilation on their existing runners, and remove redundant GitHub CLI installation.

* ci: retain functional health on the automation runner
Restore smoke-testing and the GitHub CLI installation fallback for functional-chain health, as requested by the runner operator.

* ci: move compile-free and prebuilt-binary lanes to hosted runners
Standard GitHub-hosted runners are free for this public repository, while
every sm-standard minute is paid self-hosted capacity. Move the jobs that
never compile (quick checks, typos, scope selection, the required-checks
aggregate, audit, closed-PR cancellation) and the two s3-tests lanes that
only run the prebuilt debug binary to ubuntu-latest, drop the wget install
the custom image needed for typos, and move the upgrade-compatibility
workflow, whose build shape already runs on hosted runners in
e2e-distributed, with renamed cache keys so the hosted and self-hosted
images never share a rust-cache entry. Gate the package summary job on
resolve having run, so development builds stop starting a pod to report a
skipped job.
* docs(ci): document runner billing and placement rules
Record in .github/workflows/README.md which runner labels GitHub bills
(none for this public repository), which ones RustFS pays for, the rule for
when a job may leave ubuntu-latest, the rust-cache single-writer and
same-image constraints, the patterns that have leaked self-hosted minutes,
and a checklist for new or moved jobs. Point to it from .github/AGENTS.md,
docs/testing/ci-gates.md and the ci.yml placement comment so the rule has a
single home.
