feat: migrate Forgejo runner to StatefulSet with Docker-in-Docker

Replaces the Deployment-based runner with a StatefulSet using a proper
Docker-in-Docker sidecar for improved isolation and state management.

Key changes:
- StatefulSet deployment for stable pod identity and persistent storage
- Docker-in-Docker init container (privileged) providing isolated Docker daemon
- Two persistent volumes: runner-data (1Gi) for config, docker-data (20Gi) for image cache
- Uses hcloud-volumes storage class for durability
- Each replica gets its own Docker daemon and image cache

This addresses the workflow failure where job containers (node:24-bookworm)
couldn't access Docker because the CLI was missing. The DinD sidecar provides
a complete Docker environment for all job containers.

Fixes: DEV-335

## Runner Configuration
The runner is configured to:
- Run 2 concurrent jobs
- Use Docker-in-Docker for workflow execution
- Support ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-22.04 labels with Node.js 24
- Connect to Forgejo at http://forgejo.forgejo.svc.cluster.local:3000
The runner is deployed as a StatefulSet with Docker-in-Docker (dind) sidecar for proper isolation and state management.
Configuration:
- **Deployment type**: StatefulSet (stable pod identity, persistent storage)
- **Docker execution**: Docker-in-Docker sidecar (privileged init container)
- **Concurrent jobs**: 2 (configurable via config.yaml)
- **Labels**: ubuntu-latest:docker://node:24-bookworm, ubuntu-22.04:docker://node:24-bookworm
- **Forgejo URL**: https://forgejo.basicstack.de (external URL for proper webhook/API access)
- **Persistent volumes**:
- runner-data (1Gi): Runner registration and config
- docker-data (20Gi): Docker image cache
