fix: mount the job workspace above the repository (#1224)

Mount the job workspace volume, or the `bind_workdir` directory, above `<owner>/<repo>` instead of at the repository, like GitHub's work directory.

With the repository as a mount point, pnpm 12 puts its store in `node_modules/.pnpm-store` (https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/13536), so a restored `setup-node` pnpm cache creates `node_modules` before install. Renames into `$RUNNER_WORKSPACE` fail with `EXDEV` and removing the workspace fails with `EBUSY`.

Verified against GitHub hosted and container jobs with cold and warm caches, on volume and `bind_workdir` runners, covering checkout, cache, artifacts, github-script, the node, pnpm, bun, python, uv, go, rust, java, gradle, dotnet, ruby and terraform setup actions, docker and Dockerfile actions, buildx, compose via `GITEA_DOCKER_WORKSPACE`, services, host mode, `container.volumes` on the workspace and `exec`.
