ci(gitea): move the Windows build and signing off GitHub

Gitea is master and GitHub is a mirror, but the Windows and Linux jobs still
only existed in .github/workflows, so GitHub was doing real build work. This
moves Windows.

Two jobs on two machines, which is the point rather than an accident:

  build  runs on `deb` (windows-latest:host — it carries the MinGW
         cross-compiler) and produces an unsigned wowlet.exe.
  sign   runs on desktop-iim2fs2 (windows:host), the machine with the EV
         code-signing token physically in it.

The signing job does not itself sign. Its runner is NT SERVICE\act_runner,
which cannot use the token: SafeNet holds the login per user and the login is
established interactively by an operator. So the job queues the binary for the
Fleet-installed broker (roles/windows_code_signing) and waits. CI never holds
the key and never holds the token password, so it cannot spend one of the
token's three password attempts.

Differences from the GitHub lane, all because this is a real fleet host rather
than a disposable hosted runner:

- No apt install and no sudo. Every dependency is already present on deb, and a
  first step asserts the toolchain — including that mingw is the posix
  threading variant — and fails pointing at such-fleet rather than half
  building.
- No disk-freeing or fallocated swap. Those existed to survive a hosted
  runner's 16G/14G budget; deb has 30G and 3.1T free.
- depends builds at -j4 and wowlet at -j6 rather than -j2 for the same reason.

The exe is staged unzipped between the jobs because the broker signs one PE at
a time; the published zip is assembled after signing, so the archive contains
the signed binary. The signature, its RFC 3161 timestamp and the expected
signer are all re-verified on the artifact that actually ships.

Dispatch-only: both runners are capacity 1 and shared with other lanes.

name: windows build + sign (gitea self-hosted)
# Runs ONLY on Gitea (GitHub ignores .gitea/workflows), in the private Builds
# repository. Gitea is master; GitHub is a mirror and a release surface.
#
# Two jobs on two different machines, and that split is the whole point:
#
# build -> `deb`, which advertises windows-latest:host because it carries the
# MinGW cross-compiler. Produces an UNSIGNED wowlet.exe.
# sign -> `desktop-iim2fs2` (windows:host), the only machine with the EV
# code-signing token plugged into it.
#
# The signing host does not sign in this job. The runner there is
# NT SERVICE\act_runner, which cannot use the token: SafeNet holds the token
# login per user, and the login is established interactively by an operator.
# So the job queues the artifact for the signing broker that Fleet installs
# (roles/windows_code_signing) and waits for it. CI never sees the key and never
# sees the token password, so it can never spend one of the token's three
# password attempts.
#
# Dispatch-only. Both runners are capacity 1 and shared with other lanes.
