feat: run pre-entrypoint and post-entrypoint of docker actions (#1106)

A docker action can declare `runs.pre-entrypoint` and `runs.post-entrypoint` next to `runs.entrypoint` — the docker equivalent of a javascript action's `runs.pre`/`runs.post`. Neither key existed on `ActionRuns`, so the YAML decoder dropped them and docker actions silently skipped their setup and cleanup stages.

Only the entrypoint is stage specific. [`ContainerActionHandler`](https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/src/Runner.Worker/Handlers/ContainerActionHandler.cs) selects `Data.Pre`/`Data.Post` per stage but evaluates `runs.args` and `runs.env` unconditionally, so `docker create` receives the action's args and env on every stage. The `entrypoint` input stays main only, because it is read inside the main branch.

The stage is carried as the existing `stepStage` value rather than a separate parameter, and the pre and post stages reuse the action path resolution that `runPreStep`/`runPostStep` already open-coded three times, so the diff also drops those copies.

Known gap: `stepActionLocal.pre()` is a no-op for every `using`, so `pre-entrypoint` does not run for `uses: ./local-action` while `post-entrypoint` does. Closing it requires reading the action model before the main stage and adding a pre case to `getIfExpression` for `pre-if`, which also changes local node, go and composite actions — better as its own change.

+#
+# This is the R2 half of the release process's parallel S3+R2 upload
+# period: goreleaser's `blobs:` pipe still uploads every release
+# artifact to AWS S3, and this script is invoked once per artifact
+# (via a goreleaser `publishers:` entry) to mirror the same artifact
+# into R2. Once the migration away from S3 is complete, the `blobs:`
+# block and the AWS_* secrets can be dropped without touching this

+#   upload-r2.sh --check-config
+#
+# The second form only validates that the required environment
+# variables below are set (it does not touch the network or the

+# last step of the publish pipeline, so without a preflight check a

+# has already been created and every artifact already uploaded to S3.
