Ettore Di Giacinto 42541dd4f6 ci: route site deploy and lint to the self-hosted runner
The GitHub-hosted runner pool is shared per ACCOUNT, not per repo, so a
burst in one repo starves every other. On 2026-07-31 it reached zero
scheduled jobs for 35 consecutive minutes with 39 jobs queued, while
arc-runner-set completed 12 jobs without interruption across the same
window. Actions was healthy globally (other public repos were scheduling
normally), so this is an account-level throttle we cannot fix from inside
the workflows, only route around.

Site publishing and lint are small, run on nearly every commit, and gain
nothing from waiting behind a saturated hosted queue, so both move to
arc-runner-set, the label already proven in generate_intel_image.yaml.

lint.yml is routed for PUSH ONLY, and this is the important part: that
workflow also triggers on pull_request, and a fork PR executes untrusted
contributor code. Running that on a persistent self-hosted runner would be
a real compromise vector, so anything that is not a push to mudler/LocalAI
stays on the ephemeral hosted pool. gh-pages.yml needs no such clause: it
triggers only on push-to-master and workflow_dispatch, so it never runs
pull-request code. Both carry a repository guard so forks, which have no
such runner label, fall back to hosted instead of queueing forever.

Neither workflow uses sudo or apt, and both fetch their own toolchains via
setup-go / actions-hugo. A self-hosted image can still be leaner than the
hosted one, so each lint job opens with a preflight that names the missing
tool (curl/unzip/make for protoc and lint; gcc/ldd/python3 for the
packaging-script tests) rather than failing opaquely mid-build. Reverting
is one runs-on expression per job.
