feat(ci): Gitea flow is build -> test (boot loader test per loader, parallel) -> release; drop upstream build.yml

iso-2-gitea-build.yml now has three jobs. The ISO goes between them as an artifact; the test job runs steamify-cachyos-dev's vmbootloadertest.sh --install for limine, systemd-boot and grub (needs /dev/kvm on the runner, fails at once with a reason without it); the release is only made when every test passed.
