feat(boot-test): CI boot tests use the Steam download cache, updated once a day

CI deployed every Steam game from scratch on each run, downloading the whole
game from Steam each time. scripts/boot-test.sh now runs the new
`gbrgames boot-test ID`, the builder's own deploy path: the same payload and
node-agent BootTest, but Steam games start from the cache volume
(gbr-steamcache-<app>, kept by RUNNER.md's prune).

The cache is updated at most once a day (a timestamp in the cache volume, not
copied into servers), so a repeat run within a day doesn't ask Steam for an
update at all; the node-agent's own install still checks the files and fetches
anything newer.

Not `docker system prune`: it also deletes the `gbr-boottest` network whenever no container is using it,
and boot tests then refuse to run until `systemctl restart gbr-boottest-network`. Volumes labelled
`gbr.cache` are the AI builder's Steam download cache.
and boot tests then refuse to run until `systemctl restart gbr-boottest-network`.
### Steam download cache
Boot tests of Steam games (`installMethod: STEAMCMD`) start from a cached install, one Docker volume per
app (`gbr-steamcache-<app id>`, label `gbr.cache=steam`), the same cache the AI builder uses. The
cache is updated at most once a day; the node-agent's own install then only checks the files and
fetches what changed. So Steam isn't asked for the whole game on every run, which keeps traffic from
this machine's address low. The prune above keeps these volumes. To drop one game's cache:
`docker volume rm gbr-steamcache-<app id>`; `STEAM_CACHE=off` turns the cache off.
