The previous tags are non-customizable (added by default).
This will enable us to pull specific runs out of the pool for
maintenance.
Also disable actionlint invoking shellcheck because it chokes on
PowerShell.

Switch our Linux aarch_64 release builds from Linux on Graviton (32
vCPU, 64GB) to Linux running on Apple M4 Pro (8vCPU, 32GB). Builds are
faster (20mins vs 30mins) for the same cost (960 unit minutes;
~$0.96/ea).

Release Notes:
- N/A
In response to an ongoing BuildJet outage, consider migrating CI to
GitHub hosted runners.
Also includes revert of (causing flaky tests):
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/35741
Downsides:
- Cost (2x)
- Force migration to Ubuntu 22.04 from 20.04 will bump our glibc minimum
from 2.31 to 2.35. Which would break RHEL 9.x (glibc 2.34), Ubuntu 20.04
(EOL) and derivatives.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Added [rhysd/actionlint](https://github.com/rhysd/actionlint/) a static
checker for GitHub Actions workflow files.
Install locally with `brew install actionlint` the run with
`actionlint`.
Inspired by: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/34704 which
yielded this observation:
> In github actions:
> 1. strings are truthy
> 2. `${{ }}` will become a string if it doesn't wrap the whole value.
>
> So `if: false && true` becomes `false`
> and `if: ${{ false && true }}` becomes `false`
> but `if: false && ${{ true }}` becomes `"false && true"` which
evaluates true
> The reason you sometimes need `${{ }}` is because YAML doesn't like
`!`
> so `if: !false` is invalid yaml
> and `if: ${{ !false }}` works just fine.
Changes:
- Add `actionlint` job
- Refactor `job_spec` job to be more readable
- Fix all `actionlint` and `shellcheck` errors in Actions workflows (62
in all)
- Add `self-mini-macos` and `self-32vcpu-windows-2022` labels to
self-hosted runners. Not strictly related, but useful if you need to
take a runner out of the rotation (since `macOS`, `self-hosted`, and
`ARM64` are auto-set and cannot be added/removed).
- Change ci.yml macos_relase to target `self-mini-macos` instead of
`bundle` which was previously deprecated.
This would've caught the error fixed in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/34704. Here's what that [job
failure](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/actions/runs/16376993944/job/46279281842?pr=34729)
would've looked like.
