ci: yeet depot runners in favour of GitHub runners (#23508)

johnstcn · web-flow · commit 5544a60b6e28 · 2026-03-24T17:19:38.000Z
Depot runners are running out of disk space and blocking builds.
Temporarily switch the build and release jobs from depot runners to
GitHub-hosted runners:

- `ci.yaml` build job: `depot-ubuntu-22.04-8` → `ubuntu-latest`
- `release.yaml` check-perms + release jobs: `depot-ubuntu-22.04-8` →
`ubuntu-latest`

**This is intended to be reverted once depot resolves their disk space
issues.**
