geniusventures/CI Runner Lock

Cross-platform mutual exclusion for CI runners shared between Forgejo Actions and GitHub Actions. Ensures only one CI job runs at a time on the same machine. Uses atomic `set -C` (O_EXCL / noclobber) file creation — works identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The lock auto-expires after CI_LOCK_MAX_AGE seconds (default 2h) and is released if the owning process dies, so a crashed build will never deadlock the machine.
