fix: re-fetch cached reusable workflow on every run (#930)

`cloneIfRequired` only ran the underlying clone executor when the target directory was missing, so a reusable workflow referenced by a moving ref (`uses: org/repo/.gitea/workflows/wf.yml@master`) was cached forever after the first invocation — edits to the source file never propagated.

Always invoke `git.NewGitCloneExecutor`. It handles existing repositories via fetch + pull + hard-reset, so branch and tag refs are brought up to date on each run, matching GitHub Actions semantics.

Drops the global `executorLock` too: `NewGitCloneExecutor` already takes a per-directory lock via `acquireCloneLock`, so the outer mutex only added unnecessary serialization across unrelated reusable-workflow clones — worse now that every invocation runs the full fetch.

Includes a regression test that drives the wrapper against a local bare repo, pushes a new commit on `master` between two invocations, and asserts the cached workflow file reflects the new tip.

Would be subsumed by https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/814 ("WIP: Introduce new action cache") once that lands.
